Start with:

man largefile
man lfcompile

If sendmail wasn't built with large file support, it'll need to be
rebuilt.  Specifically, it would need -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 and
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE passed to the compilation process.

While I agree that CSWsendmail should be updated, having a 2G mbox
file scares me a little bit. :)

Thanks
