I never said he did :-)

That was from the procmail list. I was googling for the error message 
"procmail: Error while writing to", and found many occurrences of it (some 
by you, by the way). Then it occurred to me to look directly on the 
procmail site, searched on their list, and bingo, found that curious 
solution.

I changed my setting from 51200000 to 100000000, and a folder that was 
having that problem started working again - so that was the answer.

I would never occurred to me that postfix would be the cause. The real 
problem is that procmail, even in verbose mode, does not report the cause 
of not being able to write to the mbox - and many people have been baffled 
by it over the years, probably.

I didn't check that. Procmail must be widely used indeed :-)
