When procmail delivers the mail to a maildir on the users home on NFS
and if such user is over his/her quota, somehow procmail thinks the user
is still under quota since write() returns successfully. The reason for
this is that sometimes the information gets cached and gets written
after write() has already returned. To fix this in Solaris you can
modify open() to use the O_SYNC bit. Somehow this does not work under
Linux the way it should. To fix this I had to add fsync() right after a
write(). I have written a patch for it so that it behaves well. I also
I modified it so that it wont deliver the mail to an alternate location.
You can find the patch here
