It is my impression that the limit for a mail box is about 1/2 of the free
space on the disk. I don't think it matters as much what the size of any
individual piece of email/attachment is.
Having received a 100 MByte email on my 7200 with (prior to receiving the
mail) 200 MBbyte free, I can say that it works. But it is so slow reacting
to POP commands that you will thing the machine crashed.
I ended up doing a full PM on the machine, convinced that it was broken.
All I needed to do was let Eudora/SIMS churn on it for about an hour. If
you are running a server with more users on it than I have that might not
be an option.
