[TriLUG] mbox limit with postfix?

[Jason Tower]

yeah it's a tad sluggish but not that bad considering the server (pentium pro 
200, but at least it has scsi disks).  i gave the user a little lecture about 
organizing emails into seperate smaller folders based on content, date, or 
whatever.  but he likes to keep it in one huge flat file, go figure.  i'm 
assuming a maildir system would be faster but decided it wasn't worth the 
effort.  one of these days i'll mess around with and get courier imap 
working.
