Hello! I have a weird problem. This weekend I upgraded my gentoo linux box (glibc 2.11 to 2.12, postfix 2.7.4 to 2.8.4 ...). I didn't noticed any problems right after the upgrade. A bit later I recompiled gcc because of the changed system libs. The next day I noticed that i can not receive mail and I saw these error in my logs:
Aug 30 21:03:07 hostname postfix/local[24231]: fatal: bad numerical configuration: mailbox_size_limit = 4294967296 Aug 30 21:03:08 hostname postfix/master[2303]: warning: process //usr/lib64/postfix/local pid 24231 exit status 1 Aug 30 21:03:08 hostname postfix/master[2303]: warning: //usr/lib64/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling I didn't changed anything on my connfiguration. Postconf says: # postconf -n | grep mailbox_size_limit mailbox_size_limit = 4294967296 I tried reducing the number which worked and the errors siappeared: # postconf -n | grep mailbox_size_limit mailbox_size_limit = 2000000000 What could be the cause to this? Is this a problem of my system or a postfix bug in combination with newer glibc/gcc? Beside this issue my system is running fine with all services on it. Any ideas? some gentoo system info: Portage 2.2.0_alpha51 (default/linux/amd64/10.0, gcc-4.4.5, glibc-2.12.2-r0, 3.0.3-gentoo x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.0.3-gentoo-x86_64-Dual-Core_AMD_Opteron-tm- _Processor_1210-with-gentoo-2.0.3 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 30 Aug 2011 01:00:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.1-r1, 3.1.3-r1 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r9 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.1-r2 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.3 sys-apps/openrc: 0.8.3-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.10.3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.21.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.4.5 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.39 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.12.2 CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" MAKEOPTS="-j3" Best regards, Tim
