Bug Description
51200000 of what, eksabytes? Probably the unit is bytes, but its hard to know.
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix
...
"Postfix Configuration
What limit should Postfix place on mailbox files to prevent runaway
software errors. A value of zero (0) means no limit. (The
upstream default is 51200000.) Mailbox size limit"
Suggestion:
- easy: "Mailbox size limit (bytes): "
- harder "Use TB GB MB kB B after number for units, defaults to B (bytes). "

It seems that the man pages for local and postconf don't specify the units. After checking the source though, the value is passed to ulimit or setrlimit. I checked out the man pages for them and there seems to be no mention of what the units are that they work in. But there is some evidence that its in 512 byte blocks. So, not sure whats going on.
