[my finger slipped / this is the complete message]
the patch is a small modification to the source listing of the
mail.local program.
To apply the patch, you have first to install the sources of the
programs in the /usr/libexec (for example, use /stand/sysinstall to
select the corresponding distribution from the release CDROM)
Then you go to the source directory :
cd /usr/src/libexec/mail.local/
you modify the file "pathname.h" as indicated (change the definition
of _PATH_LOCTMP)
then type "make" to recompile the mail.local program
(as root) type "make install"
then, it should be ok

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.

I just don't know what to do now.....
