Your system has a default file size limit that exceeds the range
that fits in the "off_t" data type which is used for file position
calculations.

Looks like your off_t is a 32-bit signed integer, which has a range
of 2147483647 to -2147483648. The bit pattern of the value 4294967295
corresponds to the value -1, which is not a reasonable file size
limit.

It is possible that the value 4294967295 corresponds to your system's
definition of "unlimited". I'll try to write some code for that
special case.

As a workaround, you can edit /etc/postfix/postfix-script and add
a line

    ulimit -f 2097151

somewhere near the start of the script. This is bash-specific syntax
(ulimit -f is given in 1024 byte units; other systems use 512 byte
units instead).
