postfix does not havnde >2Gb mailboxes
Last modified: 2015-01-12 16:27:32 EST
postfix-2.4.6-2 and earlier does not handle >2Gb mailbox despite I have postconf |grep mailbox_size_limit mailbox_size_limit = 0 set. looks this is a problem with postfix itself not being able to handle >2Gb mailbox files. All I need is to have local delivery to mailbox working with large files. Most F8 programs do have proper large file support.
According to postfix author (see a quote of a message from 2005) http://www.irbs.net/internet/postfix/0507/1398.html this was a design decision.

Should be fixed in postfix-2.5.5-2.fc11.
postfix-2.5.5-2.fc10 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 10. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/postfix-2.5.5-2.fc10
postfix-2.5.5-2.fc9 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 9. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/postfix-2.5.5-2.fc9
Can we get this for F8, as it was filed under that?
