I have a problem with Postfix not working but manual SMTP works. So
I'm at the point of uninstalling and reinstalling Postfix the Debian
way and can't do a thing because of this error.
"File size limit exceeded"
I've seen the message in other contexts. I forget the details, but
just walking away, switching to another user and doing something else,
is as far as I've got.
Now it says run dpkg --configure -a
but when I do that it aborts with this message.
There's nothing relevant immediately after in /var/log/syslog or
/var/log/messages.
I.e. totally baffled.
The following outpout starts halfway through the apt-get message flow
on attempting apt-get remove postfix:
debian-keyring libtest-pod-perl libmail-box-perl dctrl-tools dput
debian-maintainers libpod-coverage-perl html2text
libobject-realize-later-perl libuser-identity-perl
libnet-libidn-perl
libconvert-binhex-perl libmail-sendmail-perl libio-socket-ssl-perl
libossp-uuid15 libsys-hostname-long-perl libdigest-hmac-perl
libparse-debcontrol-perl wdiff
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
at bsd-mailx postfix
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 3 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 3805kB disk space will be freed.
