Dear Internet, There is a problem with interaction between postfix and the VDA patch. When mailbox_size_limit is set to 0 (or any size smaller than a typical message size) in main.cf, incoming mail generates the following error
---- Nov 3 01:54:25 vps-1015933-8657 postfix/virtual[4550]: panic: file size limit 0 < message size 1544. This causes large messages to be delivered repeatedly after they were submitted with "sendmail -t" or after recipients were added with the Milter SMFIR_ADDRCPT request ---- Mail is then put into the queue and eventually gets delivered sometime later. The problem is due to a bug in the VDA patch (which is installed by default on many distros); postfix has a workaround which eventually gets the mail to the desired mailbox. The right answer is to get the VDA folks to correct their patch, but this takes time and many users need a quicker resolution. Is there any set of configuration options that can get postfix's workaround to sweep the mail into the destination mailbox more often?
