Hi, I just lost a few mails because the main.cf, which is shipped with NetBSD, contains only a very limited set of configuration examples. It looks like there is normally a main.cf.default installed but we do not have it. Bernd

Can you be more specific? The size limits are not listed so a mail will bounce if the spool file gets too big, which was not an issue with sendmail. I checked the example main.cf before and there was nothing mentioned about the limits so I assumed that there are sane and would have been more cautious if I knew the actual limits. > > It looks like there is normally a main.cf.default installed but > > we do not have it. > > Did you look at: > /usr/share/examples/postfix/main.cf Sure but it only contains a fraction of all options.

So you mean you didn't change the size limits explicitly, and were surprised that your MTA rejected messages that were over 10 MB?

Of course not. It was the mailbox size limit (mailbox_size_limit) which doesn't account the free disk space size and so stops accepting mails if that file is around 50MB big.(Continue reading)
