postfix delivery to very large mailboxes.



Had this really anoying problem, but I solved it - so just wanted to let you
know :

If you use postfix (out of the box) then you cannot have a mailbox over a
certain size limit (about 50 MB) attempts to deliver to such a mailbox will
fail with the simple "couldn't write to mailbox" error (either using postfix
delivery or with an external local delivery agent such as procmail), as
postfix enforces a ulimit on the delivery process (security related ? I
don't know but its probably one of those things that seemd like a good idea
at the time).
adding the following entry to the main.cf file solves the problem :
mailbox_size_limit = 0
