incoming/outgoing size limit

[datadan]

I am receiving this error:

relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=299, status=bounced (message size 13193755 exceeds size limit 8388608 of server 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1])

I have looked through the postfix/mail.cf and the man pages but do not see anything regarding size restrictions. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Try removing the -n from your postconf. postconf -n only lists the configuration options that are *not* standard. The default for mailbox_size_limit is 51000000.

However, if you are using a local delivery agent other than postfix (for example, delivery to cyrus-imapd via lmtp) then postfix will not enforce the mailbox size.

The error is "queue file size limit exceeded", coming from this snipet...

if (vstream_fflush(state->dst)) {
if (errno == EFBIG) {
msg_warn("%s: queue file size limit exceeded", state->queue_id);
state->errs |= CLEANUP_STAT_SIZE;

So, without having to read the rest of the source, can anyone solve this at a glance?

queue vs. message vs. mailbox...

I am using maildrop for local delivery in /Maildir format.

Well, without looking at the rest of the source: EFBIG is a system error code defined in asm/errno.h and errno a global variable that is set by system level file operations.

It looks at though your error is generated because you've exceeded a system limit rather than a postfix limit. Have you checked the output of "ulimit"?
