Hi all,
I tried to make my /home directory a symlink to something on a
different disk (i.e., symlink across filesystems). It appeared to work
fine when browsing directories, but mail delivery stopped!
I'm using Postfix, with procmail doing the local delivery.
Is there any reason that procmail (or anything else) would fail if
/home is a symlink?

I would not know. Depends on the type of link perhaps? My /home is
also in a different partition but I connect it to this main tree with an
entry in /ect/fstab and mine looks like this:
[karl@k5di ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda5 / ext3 defaults 1 1
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda7 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/sda6 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
Notice the line for /home and this has home look and feel like it is
attached. But do a $df and it will show you it is really /dev/sda7
