    There is no postfix listed there.

    You should look carefully at the mail log.

    When on dial up, if you have an /etc/procmailrc file, this file will get
    automatically processed and mails handled over to postfix - if your normal
    delivery is handled by bogofilter - I know nothing about that program, so
    I'm guessing - then there is the difference: postfix expects an mbox file,
    and your normal process a maildir.

    That's just a guess, I need to see the mail log, the part where the error
    is.
