Hello list.

I have a question related to sendmail mail.local and /tmp filesystem. 
The issue came out when I started to receive a lot of messages in 
/var/log/messages about /tmp filesystem is full. This is the log from 
system messages:
# tail /var/log/messages
Dec 12 05:48:41 napstats kernel: pid 7240 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 
on /tmp: filesystem full

on /tmp: filesystem full
Dec 12 06:51:35 napstats kernel: pid 7363 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11

Dec 12 07:19:00 napstats kernel: pid 7426 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 
on /tmp: filesystem full
Dec 12 07:21:50 napstats kernel: pid 7426 (mail.local), uid 0 inumber 11 
on /tmp: filesystem full

But when I run a df -hi it says 0% of capacity is used on /tmp filesystem.

napstats# df -hi
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity iused    ifree %iused

/dev/ad4s1a    989M     76M    834M     8%    1709   139601    1%   /

from messagess I guess it has something to do with Sendmail. Sometimes I 
run /top /and sendmail is consuming the  most of the processor time.
napstats# uname -a
FreeBSD napstats.americatelsal.com 6.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE #2:

root@napstats.americatelsal.com:/usr/src/sys/amd64/compile/NAPSTATS  amd64

I really want to find out what the problem is.
Please can anyone give me some light here?

Thank you in advance.
Regards!!!
