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

True, and false. True: The senders got an email message. 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.

Thanks for clarifying this.
