The number of % can't hide the fact that you only have 15M free space
on /var.
Consider receiving an 20M mail or having temporary data in /var/tmp
when this happened.
/var/log/maillog will tell you some details about the mail which
triggered this.
You should stop sendmail and relocate /var/spool and if you have
local folders /var/mail too onto /usr.
A simple softlink will do.
Of course the real point is that your / partition as well as your
/var partition is kind of small.
I once had an 86M partition on / for my toy box and it wasn't
funny to update - well it was the whole disk so I had no choice.
