I am using procmail with deliver as recommended on the wiki to send mail snagged by SpamAssassin straight to a spam folder. It seemed to be working
fine, but now I'm finding messages like this:

Sep 17 12:13:47 hosty deliver(whoey): write() failed with mbox file / var/mail/whoey: File too large

I don't think this is a setrlimit problem -- the host operating system is OpenBSD 4.0. My dovecot version is 1.0.13. Is there a maximum size used by deliver? Or is this a procmail problem? It looks like the message is coming
from deliver.

I don't think this is a postfix problem -- my max message size 33M in
postfix.

From http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA:

Note that Postfix's mailbox_size_limit setting applies to all files that are written to. So if you have a limit of 50 MB, deliver can't write to log files larger than 50 MB and you'll start getting temporary failures.

Applies to mbox files just as well as log files.
