As far as I can see, exim-4.60 has the same issue: it calculates the quota in an "off_t" variable. If your operating system's off_t is 64 bits (as is the case with FreeBSD), you're in the clear. If it is 32 bits (as is the case with Red Hat Enterprise Linux) then you're not. Comparing src/transport/appendfile.c between 4.50 and 4.60, the only significant change I can see is that you're now allowed to use the character 'G' in a quota, i.e. you can write 1G instead of 1024M. Also, a few places were fixed where 'int' was used but 'off_t' should have been used. I'm pretty sure you'll still be limited to a 2G quota on an O/S which provides only a 32-bit off_t. This was discussed at length here only a couple of weeks ago. Look through the list archives.
