The fix for mail.local filling up my / filesystem with tempfiles: (quote Greg): mail.local copies mail messages into /tmp, and a couple of occasions people have received really enormous ones which have caused the root file system to overflow. I've entered a problem report, but here are some solutions: 1. Place /tmp on a file system with *much* more free space. 2. Use ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/mail.local, which implements the fix in point (3). 3. Apply this fix to /usr/src/libexec/mail.local/pathnames.h and do a 'make install' in that directory. --- pathnames.h 1994/05/27 12:39:19 1.1.1.1 +++ pathnames.h 1997/09/09 01:42:38 @@ -34,4 +34,4 @@ */ #include <paths.h> -#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/tmp/local.XXXXXX" +#define _PATH_LOCTMP "/var/tmp/local.XXXXXX" end quote I just don't know what to do now.....
