It appears that procmail is corrupting the mail file for users when the
user receives a message with Content-length mismatch
Spam-D (spam assassin catches this and passes the message back and the
maillog shown delivery.
After the message is received, pop then gives the error that the mailbox is
in a invalid format.
There is no messages in the mailbox.
If the user received a normal message then the mailbox begins to function
again.

This mail is a natural product. The slight variations in spelling and
grammar enhance its individual character and beauty and in no
way are to be considered flaws or defects.
