====== Postfix Virtual Mailbox Limit ======

===== Error message =====

If the following error message appears in mail.log:

<code text>
fatal: main.cf configuration error: virtual_mailbox_limit is smaller than message_size_limit
</code>

it is a misconfiguration.

===== Troubleshooting =====

In the file

<code text>
/etc/postfix/main.cf
</code>

file, the following entry must be added:

<code text>
virtual_mailbox_limit = 0
</code>

After restarting Postfix, the problem should be solved:

<code bash>
$ /etc/init.d/postfix restart
</code>
