First off, OK. It's a feature, not a bug. I got annoyed because nothing actually told me what the problem was.

False: They received the following message (also in my /var/log/mail/info log): status=bounced (can't create user output file. Command output: procmail: Error while writing to "/var/spool/mail/johanf" When I had a procmailrc file, they got an error message about procmail not being able to lock a mailfile. I removed the procmail file and the real error jump up. Very confusing. But that is probably something for the postfix maintainer. I also greped through /etc/postfix/* and got no matches for the mailbox size limit parameter... How am I supposed to know what it is before it hits me? Ah... I see.. In the release_notes. I'll read those more carefully in the future :) I'll set this a little higher then. > > >>>And what is the preferred MTA in mandrake?
