Hi,
Also you can use the following sendmail option:
# minimum number of free blocks on filesystem
O MinFreeBlocks=125000
this means that sendmail isnt going to queue any more mail if the space in
the var slice, its less than 125000 Blocks (1GB) if you are using the
default 8k block size.
P.S. Dont forget to restart sendmail (killall -HUP sendmail).
Greetings...
Ales
