Dear all,

I'm experiencing an issue now about message_size_limit.

I've modified message_size_limit from 20 Mb to 120 Mb this morning.
I know that's not something to do and we explained to the customer a messaging 
system wasn't in any case a file transfer service... But after, politic came in 
and blablabla...

And immediately after this change and reloading postfix configuration, the 
number of active e-mails in queue increased. Several tens of e-mails were 
unable to be sent by postfix, as if their processing stopped at the step of the 
qmgr.

I then tried to set this limit lower at 50 Mb. The same issue persisted.

Then I rolled back the settings to 20 Mb and the number of active emails 
suddenly decreased and all e-mails were sent. Queue was empty.

Note: there is enough space on the partition where is located postfix spool 
directory (500 Gb).

Does somebody knows what is happening? Does somebody had this issue?
Is there a known limit we cannot go above for message_size_limit setting in 
main.cf?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Nicolas
