Postfix allows you to set a limit on the size of a mailbox. By default,
this is ~50MB. The problem is that this limit is set by essentially
doing a ulimit. So if your procmail is set to log, and the logfile
exceeds this limit, things stop working properly. Certainly one issue I
was seeing was that spamassassin wasn't being run.
The problem can be solved by either bumping up the size of
mailbox_size_limit in your postfix config, or using a limit at all by
setting it to 0.
or directing procmail to put it's log in another directory...
Won't work. Postfix has to handle mailbox size via a ulimit, otherwise
they'd have no way to enforce it when using something like procmail.
??? Procmail's *log* file is just that, a log (text) file, not an email
and not delivered by email/postfix. Why would postfix care where
procmail stores it's log file? My procmail log is stored in a directory
below /home/<me>.
SPOOL="/var/spool/mail"
MAILDIR="$HOME/mail"
DEFAULT="$SPOOL/<me>"
<me>SPOOL="$SPOOL/<me>"
#Directory for storing procmail log and rc files
PMDIR="$HOME/.procmail"
LOGFILE="$PMDIR/log"
This is for a personal "~/.procmailrc", but you can do the same in an
"/etc/procmailrc".
