A quick look through the sendmail source shows: $ grep 452 *.c collect.c: usrerr("452 Out of disk space for temp file"); queue.c: syserr("!452 Error writing control file %s", tf); savemail.c: case 452: /* Req action not taken: insufficient sys storage */ srvrsmtp.c: usrerr("452 Insufficient disk space; try again later"); srvrsmtp.c: usrerr("452 Too many recipients"); usersmtp.c: if (r == 452) In other words, sendmail uses it to indicate some kind of resource problem. This system is running Netscape, so we can't look at the source sendmail, but also that either the file system is full (most likely) or that there was an I/O error writing the message to disk. I've just tried sending a message to the postmaster, and it was accepted, so you can assume that the problem has been solved. Probably your message has now been delivered.
