From: Meshbah Uddin Ahmed on 23 Mar 2010 01:18 Actually it is not happen only on xyz user. although size of the mailbox is 8mb. FYI, if i stop dovecot service and run *postfix flush* then all mails are successfully send to the mailbox. after that i need to start dovecot service.

SA's whitelist exceeded that size and ran into trouble. So I tried to figure out whether you had a similar problem. Sorry, I cannot help you any further here. Bas.
