What is your mailbox size limit ?
I wasn't aware of having one. :-} :-?
https://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix
Postfix's mailbox_size_limit setting applies to all files that are written via dovecot-lda. The default is 50 MB, so dovecot-lda can't write any files larger than that, including mbox files or log files.
(that's why I asked about your mailbox_size_limit).
cer@Telcontar:~> grep mailbox_size_limit /etc/postfix/main.cf #mailbox_size_limit = 51200000 # migth cause procmail error. http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/2006-10/msg00042.html mailbox_size_limit = 200000000 cer@Telcontar:~> That seems close. And it seems I hit that problem previously. Doubling the value. Funny. I remember the complains with Exchange having a 2 GiB limit per mailbox, and here we go with a 50 MB default limit. And it has to load the entire mbox in RAM, to just append a new mail at the end? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
