Is procmail running from Postfix (or some other MTA)? I've hit this =
problem where Postfix has set a filesize ulimit, which all the scripts =
spawned from Postfix will inherit.=20

In my case, I had a script that was hitting the filesize limit trying to =
log it's results to a logfile that doesn't get rotated. I imagine the =
same thing could happen with procmail, if postfix was calling it.

Cheers
