Your "mail.local" program is is trying to write to the /tmp directory and
failing because the file system is full. Many system administrators shift
the /tmp directory elsewhere to avoid this problem since it's usual to have
a pretty small root filesystem, and actually it's preferable to have as
little write activity on root as possible. 

Copy the contents of /tmp to, say, /var/tmp. Remove the /tmp directory. Do: 
	ln -s /var/tmp /tmp
to create a symlink.
