RE: Strange problem...

That would be exactly the problem! I was grepping around for "quota" in
/etc/postfix, but discovered that the actual config option is:

mailbox_size_limit = 51200000

Even if it is unset, it still defaults to this value.

Thanks very much Dallman.

I'm running DSPAM + Postfix + Procmail (latest) and have recently

Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/mike" 16300: [Thu Sep 23 12:34:36

As you can see, that file is rather large. It is because I run imap 
not pop3 and don't delete any messages.

Now if I email to mike(_at_)domain(_dot_)com with just a little test email, 
it 
gets delivered. If I send it a big mail (like with an attachment), 
then I get the failure and the mail gets bounced.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

My wild guess: You are very enar the 50Mb out-of-the-box quota limit postfix
applies to mailboxes; yet small messages are still being added because they
still fit in under 50Mb (52428800 bytes?  Not sure, but that's 1024 * 1024 *
50).
