[TriLUG] mbox limit with postfix?

[Jason Tower]

well i'll be a monkey's uncle.  the following parameter is in 
/etc/postfix/main.cf.default (not main.cf, where i was looking):

mailbox_size_limit = 51200000

i'll jack it up to 100MB if i run into this again (i pared all of the mbox's 
down to under 10MB already, so hopefully it will be awhile).  thanks ben -
