Hi,
I am using dovecot on debian, with version 1.0.rc15-2etch4. Along with postfix.
The deliver binary cannot deliver to large mailboxes. I cannot state an exact size limit but mbox mailboxes above 1GB seem to be affected.
I have these in in postfix/main.cf mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver mailbox_size_limit = 5120000000
The user.log file shows these (I believe if no logging is specified, deliver binary tries to log with "logger" and they go to user ?)
user.log.3.gz:Nov 8 21:23:01 guvercin deliver(dummy): write() failed with mbox file /var/mail/dummy: File too large user.log.3.gz:Nov 8 21:23:01 guvercin deliver(dummy): msgid=4915957C.8090606@ceng.metu.edu.tr: save failed to INBOX user.log.3.gz:Nov 8 21:23:01 guvercin deliver(dummy): sieve runtime error: Keep: Generic Error
The /var/mail/dummy file exists and is 1.9GB, so my filesystem certainly supports files >1G
What may be the problem ?
The limit you're probably thinking of is 2G (not 1G), if it applies to your particular OS. On a 32 bit system without large file support treating sizes as a signed integer, 2^31 bytes is 2 gigs.
