i just upgraded from 20000531 to 20010128 and some of my users started
getting their mail bounced due to the default mailbox_size_limit of 20MB.

prior to the upgrade, there were no problems at all delivering to them
with the default message_size_limit of 10MB, even though some of the
mailboxes were much larger than that (some as large as 200MB).

a way of disabling it would be nice....although setting it to a
ridiculously high value (500MB or 1GB) does the trick.

on standard linux ext2fs, 2GB would be exactly the same as disabling it
as file sizes can't grow beyond 2GB anyway.
