sendmail error msg

msg :
cic-cogd sendmail (5093) : losing qfCAA20785 : savemail panic
cic-cogd sendmail (5093) : CAA20785 : SYSERR(root) : savemail : cannot save rejected email anywhere : file to large

Where can I change it ? :)

[Evert Jan van Ramselaar]

It is probably trying to save a dead.message of something like that in your homedirectory. Do you have enough space there?

Check to make sure that you don't have a full filesystem somewhere.

/var is a likely candidate or where the file was being written to.

[T G Manikandan]

It could be that it is trying to store the rejected mail in either /var/tmp or $HOME/.deadletter.

check whether you have enough space on both the file systems.

Thankss

i don't have full FS :)

[Michael Tully · Accepted solution]

Only other thing this could be is a problem with either ownership or permissions. Rejected email is sent back to the user and to /var/tmp/dead.letter. This cannot be done if there is a permission problem

The /var/mail should be 775 bin:mail
The /var/mail/root file should be 660 root:mail
The /var/mail/ should be 660 :mail
The /var/tmp directory must be 777 so that rejected file can be writen to there.
