Postfix Maximum Mailbox Size

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

I was having mail bounce last week with this message going out to people trying to email me.

Subject: Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender

The Postfix program

<null@nesser.org>: can’t create user output file

I remember having this problem in the past and I just deleted a bunch of old emails and things went back to normal. At lunch today I had some time so I investigated the problem and set the maximum size to infinity for my mailboxes now. So if there is room on the hard drive, my email will keep coming in.

In the postfix main.cf file simply set this variable:

### No maximum size to a mailbox
mailbox_size_limit = 0

Sorry for the interuption in service. Things should be back in order now.

Szia!

Hungary is my first taste of Europe. I must stay it’s quite different from the electrical plugs to the food. But everyone is polite and nice, and smile at me when I say hello in my broken - I wouldn’t even call it “Hungarian”. I only know how to say “hello” and “thank you”.

I have some pictures of the trip. We ended up spending the afternoon in Vienna waiting for Ryan and my lost luggage to arrive.

Tonight we are going to Budapest for a “night on the town”. Likely be some more pictures tomorrow morning.

These differences are a result of the SOAP specification being somewhat vague in some areas… These variations in implementation can mean the difference between a properly functioning system and days spent popping Advil.

Friday of Productivity

Saturday, March 4th, 2006

Friday was a busy day. I started out with hockey in the morning after a night out at Ned’s with Kurt and some skiers. In the bottom of my hockey bag was my missing iron ring. It must have come off in my hockey glove and ended up in my bag.

After some 4 on 4 hockey - without a sub on the white team - it was back to work where I brought my chili in to heat up for the contest at lunch. 3 people voted for chili number one, 2 for mine and 1 for chili number two. But when the weighted matrix was added up I placed first. Those that liked mine, liked it a lot!

My .Net web services book showed up so I did some reading and then it was off to ZMP for a meeting about some corporate databases and a sub project I’m working on. Not too shaby for a Friday.

Oh, by the way. I’m sick like a dog too.
