After some users filled /dev/sda8 which is mounted as /var/spool/mail I introduced quotas. This worked fine up to two weeks ago because a user received a mail greater than his hardlimit. How could this happen?
We're using smail 3.2.0.101-4.5 out of the hamm distribution. I observed the process of incoming mails. First the incoming mail is spooled to /var/spool/smail/input and then appended to /var/spool/mail/username, whether or not this exceeds the hardlimit of quota. Every next mail for this user is blocked because of the quota but this one was enough to fill /var/spool/mail. Any suggestions?
