Subject:   sendmail mail temp file limit

I run rsync nightly via periodic to "mirror" my home directories to a
secondary machine.  I just did a major file cleanup so the rsync output
would be large.  Consequently, the resulting e-mail sent was large.  I
got the following message instead of the message with details of the
rsync process:

*** Mail of at least 7127040 bytes could not be accepted
*** at node1.cluster.srrc.usda.gov due to lack of disk space for temp file.
*** Currently, 4 kilobytes are available for mail temp files.

I know what was in the message and am not concerned about it but am
curious about the size limit.  I have much more space available than 4
kilobytes so am wondering where this limit is being set.

Thanks.
