Looks like this typical scenario:
At the stage where procmail handles the local delivery, procmail did run into
an error and couldn't save the message into the mailbox of the recipient.
There are a couple of causes for this:
- Mailbox is too large already and procmail times out when attempting to write
to it.
- Recipient user (or the site he belongs to is over quota).
- Procmail process was killed manually
So procmail failed to do the local delivery and handed the mail back to
sendmail for bouncing or generating an NDN (non delivery notice).
During the next step it tried to bounce the email to user postmaster to let
someone know that it couldn't send the mail to admin. Well, you guess it:
User postmaster is mapped to admin. If Procmail fails at that stage again,
then Sendmail throws the towel and says: "savemail: cannot save rejected
email anywhere" and discards the email.
So check the size of your admin mailbox and empty it out if need be.
