[Dovecot] mbox File too large error
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 file locks (-x) 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,
Nicolas

This has nothing to do with dovecot: I just forgot to set a decent value to "mailbox_size_limit" in my postfix configuration.
Sorry for the noise,
Nicolas
