Okay, am replying to my own mail. The problem seems to be with postfix and
not procmail. This is what I had:
----------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED] postfix]# postconf mailbox_size_limit
mailbox_size_limit = 51200000
----------------------------------
so I added this line to /etc/postfix/main.cf
-------------------------------
mailbox_size_limit = 102400000
-------------------------------
This seems to solve the problem and I can now recieve email in the mailbox
with the mailbox size being over 54 mb now. (I restored my old INBOX)
Just to be difficult I commented out the line in main.cf so that the
default mailbox size again became 50mb, but now the old problem is not
reproducible. I can recieve email in this mailbox despte it being larger
than the mailbox_size_limit.
Can someone explain this ?
