If you have a fast connection to some box with enough space, I'd grab it off via ftp/sftp or the like and then cat /dev/null to it as root and make a reminder in the future to rotate the logs more often... e.g.: `cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/log/mainlog` will erase the content of said file in place.... >***************************************************** >MAIL ERROR >cannot send mail from webmail - error: >internet1 sendmail[619]: NOQUEUE: >SYSERR(nobody):/etc/mail/submit.cf:line 415: >readcf: option RunAsUser: unknown user smmsp > >************************************************** > > Looks as if sendmail was updated without running mergemaster. smmsp has been around for quite a while IIRC; you could try adding it.
