Subject: Re: Mailbox Size Limit
Thanks for that,
I've followed your instructions and it seems ok at 300MB.
(my client is happy too, cause now he can open his 135MB mailbox file ;-)
A 100MB limit seems pretty stringent to me though. Perhaps that limit was decided
upon because the author had in mind heavier loads than what I would use it for.
I setup OpenBSD systems for small companies with 10-20 users using smtp/pop etc.
Do you think in such a situation a 300MB limit is likely to cause a service disruption?
Is there any other tweak I should make when increasing this limit?
regards,
