if I filter the messages from /var/mail/$USER with formail/procmail

Do you know that procmail is actually being invoked for the messages in
question??? Have you ANY logging enabled, and if so, do you see the basic
entries for the problem messages?
The errors are occuring sporadic, which mean, it works a time (maybe
several month) and then I have at once several 1000 messages in
/var/mail/* and then it continues normaly.
The get this error it is (in theory) required that I whatch the size
of ALL files in /var/mail/* and use "VERBOSE=on" in procmail.
If the error occur, I need to get a E-Mail or other warning.

* $? test -e /var/mail/$LOGNAME
{
VERBOSE=ON
}
One message (for any given user) would slip by unVERBOSE, but after that,
VERBOSE would automatically be enabled for that user until the problem was
resolved.
You could fire off an email to yourself using the same logic, understanding
that the notification would be delayed somewhat.
