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?

There's no reason why procmail should fail with a sym link, but in the
event that there is something else going on simply tell procmail in your
$HOME/.procmailrc where your home is.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail
You can also have procmail log everything that it's doing by turning
verbose on and it should tell you what it doesn't like, be sure to tell
it where the log file is, this is what I've used to identify problems.
VERBOSE=yes
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
#LOGABSTRACT=all
See the procmailrc for more info on what else you can do in .procmailrc
