The procmail man page mentions that it should be returning a "Quota
exceeded while writing "x"" message, although I haven't ever seen this
happen on our systems (and I've seen the former messages happen a lot).

Try making sure your LOGFILE directive is not set anywhere before you
do your bounce. If LOGFILE is set, stderr will be written there first
and sendmail will only get procmail's return code (EX_CANTCREAT):

Ok, where is the "before you do your bounce" area?

Is that the /etc/procmailrc or do even the user-level .procmailrc files
count?

    From procmail(1):

       On general failure procmail will return EX_CANTCREAT,  un-
       less  option -t is specified, in which case it will return
       EX_TEMPFAIL.

By not logging at all, stderr will be written back to the MTA,
allowing sendmail to generate a more "true" error bounce.

Not logging at all = includes user-level .procmailrc?

Thanks,
