It's a pity that you didn't say what version of FreeBSD you're
running, like we ask. However, based on the fact that this is
mail.local, and the file system looks fine when you look at it, this
is almost certainly the bug that somebody else mentioned, that
somebody is trying to deliver a very large mail message. Later
versions of FreeBSD (I think 3.2 and up, but it could be 3.3) no
longer have this problem. In your case, you can do one of these:
1. Go into /var/spool/mqueue and look for a very big file, which will
have a name like dfSAA00420. Delete it and the corresponding file
qfSAA00420 (same name except for the q at the start).
2. Install a newer version of mail.local, which will create its temp
file in /var/tmp instead of /tmp.
3. Create a memory file system with enough space and mount /tmp on
it.
I would personally go for (1). People shouldn't be sending 15 MB mail
messages.
