Mailbox Size Limits

Pluggers,

I am getting errors on my server:

-- sendmail-largeboxes (large mail spool files) Begin -------- 

 Large Mailbox threshold: 40MB (41943040 bytes)
  Warning: Large mailbox: username (61405058)
 
 -- sendmail-largeboxes (large mail spool files) End -------

What I don't understand, I'm running postfix and the current mailbox size 
limit is 512000000

I believe this is 512MB roughly. I use dovecot for IMAP/POP and there is no 
size limitation with dovecot that I can find. So where am I getting this 
message from? Currently, my mail comes in to postfix, then procmail takes 
over SA filtering and delivers it, so I assume this is a procmail issue?
Is there a size limit for procmail? I really can't convince people to clean up 
their inboxes, they just aren't listening. I have many many many that are 
over 20 megs!

I'm going to help these people clean them, but in the meantime, I can't find 
any size limitations, so what gives?
