Got it fixed! Simply solution. Just create a zfs file system for the
pqueues with a modest amount of reservation size. I did 20Gb.

I'm trying to install postfix-2.7.2-RC2 on Solaris 10 sparc system.
Make and install goes through fine. postfix starts up with no errors.
But getting the following errors in the log file:
Aug 10 09:58:43 mail1 postfix/smtpd[173]: [ID 947731 mail.crit] fatal:
statvfs .: Value too large for defined data type
this error corresponds when a message is trying to be delivered. The
sending mail server is getting a stat=deferred.
I've tried googling this error but not finding any solutions. One
note,
the postfix install is on a ZFS file system. Any idea why I'm getting
this error?
I speculate that the statvfs API can't handle the very large result
values that ZFS supports; perhaps Solaris has grown a new API that
Postfix currently isn't aware of?

A quick Google shows related issues in lots of software, example

and documented here:

Workaround: set quota or place queue on <2TB fs
Fix: use statvfs64
