I tried defining MAIL in config.h but that did not seem to help. It writes to
/var/mail/spool/$user now which looks like was defined in autoconf.h ,
MAILSPOOLDIR. I figured if I changed that to point to /home/ it would try and
write into the users directory in mbox format but it actually tried writing in
Maildir format (in /home/$USER/) which then failed for the second time. It
does requeue the email but sends a response back not saying the quota is full,
just that the command died. I think I'm going about this the wrong way, I want
to prevent it from delivering to $MAIL all together and report back to postfix
that the users quota is full, I forget which error code that is. Any ideas?

After setting up a new mail server we noticed that when a users
quota was reached Procmail delivers into /var/mail/user when it
can't write to the users Maildir. How can we force Procmail to
only attempt to write in the users Maildir and when it can't due
to their quota being reached it forces postfix to bounce the
message reporting that the users quota is full? Any help would
be appriciated. Thank You.
Put into your build the proper value for $MAIL and recompile.
