I have now got round to looking at this. On my Linux box, where Exim is
compiled with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE, the quota is
NOT limited to 2G. I have just run a test with quota=3G, and I end up
with a maildirsize that contains
3221225472S,0C
0 0
298 1
So, the question is, what system were you using and how was Exim
compiled? What I think I'll do is insert a test of the size of off_t
into the code of Exim, and have it generate an error if you try to set a
quota > 2G on a 32-bit system.
