Ah, thanks for the correction/explanation... I guess then that this is essentially a 32-bit filesystem limitation? Or are you saying that you could still compile postfix like this even on a 32 bit system? I'm also guessing that postfix running on a 64 bit system would normally be compiled this way...? -- Best regards, Charles
