I really do not think it has anything to do with procmail.  The
MTA is bouncing mail that procmail couldn't write because quota

What's weird is that that particular error message is listed
*verbatim* in the DIAGNOSTICS section of 'man procmail'


Quota exceeded while writing "x"
                              The filesize quota  for  the  recipient  on  the

                              ering the message to the file.

That's what made me think it might be inside procmail itself. It makes
no mention of this error being MTA specific.

Hmm.  Well, it could be that I'm wrong.  But wouldn't strings show --
oh, wait a minute, I didn't use the -i option with grep!  Sheesh.  Okay,
running strings on the binary does show:

  9:39am [~/Mail] 323[0]> strings /usr/local/bin/procmail |  grep -i quota     
 Quota exceeded while writing

So I take it all back.  I erred!

The OP might change the source there, then.
