 From http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA:

Note that Postfix's mailbox_size_limit setting applies to all files  
that are written to. So if you have a limit of 50 MB, deliver can't  
write to log files larger than 50 MB and you'll start getting  
temporary failures.

Applies to mbox files just as well as log files.
