Hello,
I have a rather large (~400MB) INBOX file in mbox format. When using
deliver, it complains in the logs:
Dec 2 16:47:13 petole deliver(niko): write() failed with mbox file /home/niko/mail/INBOX: File too large
I do not see anything related in the configuration. And ulimit shows
nothing special:
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
max nice (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) unlimited
max rt priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited

This is with dovecot 1.0.8, sieve plugin 1.0.2:
# dovecot -n
# 1.0.8: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
mail_location: mbox:~/mail:INBOX=~/mail/INBOX
mbox_write_locks: fcntl
auth default:
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
What can I do to be able to deliver to large mbox files ?
Thanks,
