The second tells you why. mail.local is the program which delivers mail to local users. It uses /tmp as a temporary store for the mail message. /tmp is usually located on /. If / has only 5 MB free, and someone is sent a 6 MB file, you get the messages above, every time the queue is processed. Solutions: 1. Build your freeBSD disk with a large, separate /tmp partition. 2. cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/sendmail/mail.local, edit pathnames.h to put the temp files in /var/tmp and rebuild mail.local Danny /* Daniel O'Callaghan */ /* HiLink Internet <http://www.hilink.com.au/>; danny@hilink.com.au */ /* FreeBSD - works hard, plays hard... danny@freebsd.org */
