In the future, run 'postconf' and it will show you all the configurable settings. Just poke thorugh there and find the one that you want to change. In your case, what was getting you was the default setting, the value that got inherited if you didn't specifically set it in the configuration file. For future reference, a REALLY good command to keep handy is; rpm -qs 'packagename' | grep bin This will list all the files in the package that have bin in it. In this case, I'm trying to find all the files in either bin or sbin directories, ie executable files. I happened upon postconf one day by accident. Blue skies...

Re: [expert] Mailboxes size on Postfix
I don't have a ReiserFS . I have ext2 . I have
tried with webmin but I can't find it where to change the size of an
incoming message or the size of a mailbox.
Thanks,

If
you have reiserfs as your filesystem, then don't do that..
you
will end up with a log full of error messages..
reiser gives the wrong error message and it will fill your logs with
"file write error" messages..
I
don't remember the syntax for what you want, but fire up webmin, I think it
can do what you want.

Hi.
The mail machine of my job is a LM 8.0 box
with Postfixand I want to change the size of mailboxes . I try to
search Postfix documentation but I can't find how to do it.
Can anyone tell me whatis the
configuration file and the parameter to change this. I have webmin 1.0.30
installed on the machine but I can't find it either.
Thanks in advance,

Re: [expert] Mailboxes size on Postfix
Jorge, Find the main.cf file and add the following line to it: message_size_limit = size of mailbox in bytes and save it out. Then reload postfix to enable the new limit. example: message_size_limit = 1000 for a 10 Meg limit Adios! On Monday 18 November 2002 04:23 am, you wrote: I don't have a ReiserFS . I have ext2 .

Re: [expert] Mailboxes size on Postfix
Hello Jorge, I found additional info from the Postfix folks: message_size_limit = bytes (i.e. message_size_limit = 1000 for 10 Meg) is for message size limits. mailbox_size_limit = bytes (i.e. mailbox_size_limit = 10 for 1Gig) is for mailbox size limits. I do know if webmin will allow you to change these, so you may have to hand edit the main.cf file and add them. Don't forget to refresh Postfix after altering the configuration.

I have webmin 1.0.30 installed on the machine but I can't find it either. What I want to change is the size of incoming message. What you need to do is edit your /etc/postfix/main.cf file, and change message_size_limit to the size you want to limit your incoming messages to. If a line in your configuration doesn't already exist with that variable, just add it and set it to the limit you want. I.E.: message_size_limit = 5120 Will pretty much set you up so that a 51M incoming message will be allowed. Of course, such a message would probably tie your connection up all day. :-) HTH. --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The size limit of an incoming message, or are you trying to put some kind of file size limit on the users' mailboxes? --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
