Hi,

(1)

there's a default 50MB limit on a mailbox (see sample-local.cf) and
postfix won't deliver emails when the mailbox is bigger. I'm not
saying this is bad/good thing, but I think that this should be better
documented/visible - I recommend mentioning it at least in default
main.cf file. (I have already found 2 users very confused about this
limit - they've experienced the limit but they couldn't find where
exactly it is and how to turn it off (disc quota? procmail? postfix?
...))

(2)

I recommend to call procmail with "-t" option in main.cf:
(man procmail)
       -t   Make procmail fail softly, i.e., if  procmail  cannot
            deliver the mail to any of the destinations you gave,
            the mail will not bounce,  but  will  return  to  the
            mailqueue.   Another delivery-attempt will be made at
            some time in the future.

Do you think it's a bad idea? I think that the most common case is
a full disc (resp. quota) and that the user should probably notice
that very soon, deletes unneeded mails/files and receives temporarily
spooled emails... Do we agree?

I heard from some people on #mandrake at openprojects, that procmail
people recommends calling procmail with "-d $LOGNAME" in main.cf,
otherwise there could be some problems with root@localhost/nobody
delivery. I don't know the details but maybe you do...

Have a nice day
