But wait, there is more...
The queue manager and the delivery agents can be affected, too.
Depending on how mail gets into Postfix, recipient records may be
sitting at the end of a queue file, and when a delivery agent (or
queue manager) tries to mark a recipient as "done" they get into
trouble when their "message size limit" setting is too small.
That was one of the bugs that was introduced by the VDA patch,
