Bug Description
Binary package hint: pax
> pax: ustar vol 1, 747 files, 919543564541624320 bytes read, 578133281422478456 bytes written.
My laptop doesn't actually have 500PB of disk. It wrote 109MB.
The command was
find ~ \( \
-path ~/backup \
-o -path ~/.cache \
\) -prune -o \
-readable -type f -newer $timestamp -print0 |
pax -w0vzf ~/backup/
and the output file produced looks reasonable.

This is actually a somewhat serious bug. It seems that amavis uses pax to determine the file size of some attachments. When pax reports ridiculously large sizes amavis won't scan the file.
