Postfix uses "long" integers for file position information. Changing
this to "off_t" is somewhere on the wishlist.

If you must handle files > 2GB with Postfix today, you will need 64-bit
hardware.

32-Bit computing is rapidly coming to an end, now that even smallish
machines have several GB of memory.
