I've seen a couple of problems recently where people have been sent enormous mail messages (> 10 MB). mail.local makes a temporary copy of the message in /tmp, which can often overflow under these circumstances. I've submitted a change to put the stuff in /var/tmp instead, but so far it hasn't made it. It doesn't look as if this is your problem, but it's in the same area. Here's a patch: RCS file: /src/cvs/src/libexec/mail.local/pathnames.h,v retrieving revision 1.1.1.1 diff -w -u -r1.1.1.1 pathnames.h --- 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" Greg
