According to this RHEL bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=428996
Postfix 2.4 (and below, presumably, including 2.3 which was packaged with 
CentOS 5) used off_t for file offsets, which appears to be a 32-bit value on 
CentOS 5 32-bit. So that probably is the root cause.

If you have the freedom to move to CentOS 6 or 7, or even a 64-bit install of 
CentOS 5, Postfix probably will start to behave again.

Postfix bounced messages that would cause the inbox to go over the 2GB limit.  
That's how I found this problem and why I need to solve it today.

It's not what I know that counts.
It's what I can remember in time to use.
