People, *please* use the correct lists, or you'll end up annoying the people you rely on for help. Read http://www.lemis.com/questions.html for more details. This is becoming more common. The problem is that somebody has sent you an enormous mail message, and it's being copied into /tmp, and there's no space. You can do one of two things: 1. Move /tmp to a larger file system and make it a symlink or a mount point. 2. Pick up ftp://ftp.lemis.com/pub/mail.local, which uses /var/tmp instead of /tmp. Greg
