Even memcached has limits, he just hasn't run into them.
Postfix virtual aliases have multiple limits. In fact, Postfix has
limits for everything, to prevent one bad actior from locking up
the entire server.

Sorry, that would make Postfix vulnerable by default, and that is
undesirable.

It could be made configurable. For an example of this, see how the
"berkeley_db_read_buffer_size" configuration parameter controls a
global variable in the dict_db.c module.
Such a global variable already exists in dict_sockmap.c.
