Setting message_size_limit=0 makes it unlimited, no restrictions. Thus, when using only maildir storage, setting virtual_mailbox_limit=xxxx is equivalent to setting message_size_limit=xxxx In other words, when setting message_size_limit=0 you are throwing this restriction out the window and relying on setting virtual_mailbox_limit to accomplish the same thing. My question about 50MB emails stands. Do you actually have users who need to receive emails closely approaching 50MB? SMTP is _NOT_ FTP. IMO, for many serious reasons, any attachment over 10-15MB should be hosted on a web or FTP server and a link sent instead. -- Stan
