Re: Mailbox limit not observed

I have a problem. I am trying to set: virtual_mailbox_limit = 4294967296 (that is 4GB) However, postfix doesn't accept it; I copy from the log: Feb 18 16:58:31 vmail postfix/virtual[18849]: fatal: bad numerical configuration: virtual_mailbox_limit = 4294967296 Feb 18 16:58:32 vmail postfix

OK guys, I'll set up quotas in Dovecot and see how it goes. I've also just installed (compiled from source on CentOS 5.5) Postfix 2.8.0 with VDA (just published for 2.8.0), and I will experiment with all the available settings. Just a question: If quota is useless on the MTA, why there is al

Mailbox limit not observed

Hello, Although I'm using virtual_mailbox_limit (in main.cf), it seems it's not being observed. I set it to: 314572800 (300MB), but I see our users have sometimes larger mailboxes. Should I do something more to enforce the limit? Please advise. Thanks, Nick Follows my config (postconf -n):
