What could cause Postfix/Dovecot to suddenly start failing to deliver mail and issue this error message in the /var/log/maillog: Sep 30 09:45:24 scorpio postfix/local[1439]: 80E65C613: to=3D<gerard-gmail@= localho st.seibercom.net>, relay=3Dlocal, delay=3D6.5, delays=3D6.4/0.01/0/0.03, ds= n=3D5.2.2, st atus=3Dbounced (cannot update mailbox /var/mail/gerard-gmail for user gerar= d-gmail =2E error writing message: File too large) The dovecot.log had similar entries. A total of 122 messages were hung up before I caught it. The mailbox was 49M in size; however, it has been far larger and yet never was any problem encountered. I had to remove all of the mail before delivery would start again. Other than upgrading to FreeBSD 6.1 P8 yesterday, nothing has changed on the system. --=20 Gerard Seibert gerard@seibercom.net
