A bit:-).
Postfix is very particular about the ownership and mode... The file in
the incoming directory (that you copy there) should be owned by your
postfix user/group (usually "postfix":-) and be mode -rwx------ (chmod
0700 ...), so start by making sure of that.
Also ... you might have something informative in the logs perhaps?
Look in all logs, if you do logfile splitting (info, warning and error
...).

Cheers
