There is no reason to change Postfix file size limits. They are
documented in the Postfix FAQ, printed by postconf and they are
configurable. 50,000 kByte is ample room for various purposes.

The bogofilter data base size is sensitive to configuration, for
instance, my production data base size is below 10,000 kBytes.
