Hi all,
I obviously have an configuration error on my backup MX, but can't sort it out
alone.
I use two mailservers, one primary MX and a secondary MX which relays messages
to the primary.
A cron job on eara now generated a mail to root, which should be sent to
m...@roland-ramthun.de.
This doesn't happen, instead postfix logs the fatal configuration error below.
I think the configuration error is misleading, what could the real problem be?
Can or should the message be fixed?
The problem is the configuration, see below:
###

mailbox_size_limit = 10737418240
message_size_limit = 134217728
global/mail_params.h
563:extern int var_mailbox_limit;
Both of these parameters are signed integers as of Postfix 2.6.5 (and
possibly later versions)
Once you exceed 2,147,483,647; you get overflows.
Maybe Wieste should investigate changing the mailbox limit to a long (if
he hasn't already) as disk space becomes cheaper all of the time.
