I keep seeing these two errors in my mail log since upgrading to 9.5.1...

Apr 22 04:09:51 myalldesigns postfix/master[2920]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/local: bad command startup -- throttling
Apr 22 04:10:51 myalldesigns postfix/local[17748]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit

The second looks fairly strait forward but I cannot see where to fix it. I can't find main.cf and I can't find the setting in the GUI.
 
Do you have something like 'fatal: bad net/mask pattern' before 'bad command startup -- throttling' error?
And:

# rpm -qa | grep postfix
postfix-2.3.3-2.1.el5_2
# rpm -ql postfix | grep main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf
/etc/postfix/main.cf.default
# grep size_limit /etc/postfix/main.cf
message_size_limit = 1048576
 
I have the same errors:

May 15 18:06:53 ns postfix/local[1558]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: mailbox_size_limit is smaller than message_size_limit
May 15 18:06:54 ns postfix/master[4123]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/local pid 1558 exit status 1

# grep size_limit /etc/postfix/main.cf

Mail Server Settings -> Maximum message size = 100 000 kilobytes (KB)
All domains have: Mailbox quota = 102 400 KB
All mailboxes are set to default size 100MB.
