I get a report of a full /var system upon reboot, butI sure as heck don't
understand
why or how.

Anyway...whenever I reboot, when the system prompts me to login, I start to
get
the following message:

     Mar 22 17:54:35 freebsd sendmail [146]: NOQUEUE: low on space (have 0,
SMTP-DAEMON
     needs 101 in /var/spool/mqueue

However, whenever I look in this directory...all I see are files like
qfSAA00191, qfSAA00192, etc.

Opening these files in VI just shows messages that root is sending to the
system, primarily something
about vi.recovery or something like that.

I have to kill the process right after I log in, but do I have to this
everytime? And what about my var, what
on earth is making it "full" and "low on space"?
