I'm frequently finding the following messages in my maillog. This started
happening after my spool-volume ran out of space a while ago. I've since
cleaned up the volume and stuck another disk in the array, but the messages
keep appearing many times daily:

87368988E: skipping further client input

and:

126E49898: queue file size limit exceeded

Is there's something I've overlooked? Where can I tune this 'queue file size
limit'? I've had a look into sample-resources.cf but I only see limits
pertaining to message-size and number of messages, not to queue file size?

I'm probably overlooking something. Strange that I've never noticed these
messages before. There's now ample space on the volume.

Thanks!

- Philip

Default value for message_size_limit is 11264000, which is about a 7 meg
attachment converted to base64. Someone is trying to send a message bigger
than that.

You didn't per chance reduce this parameter when you were having space
trouble did you?

You can either increase message_size_limit, or the sender will have to
split the file into smaller pieces.

Ah, so it's talking about one message. I thought is was complaining about the
queue as a whole. The only parameter I knew there was controlling the minimum
amount of space that should be kept free on the volume. Misinterpretation on
my part.

Nope. I've upped it slightly now. We occasionally receive large graphics in
the course of business.

Thanks for the info :-)
