"No space left on device" Which device?

[Anthony Peacock]

Hi Julian,

Thanks for the response.  I have already checked that, which is how I 
know that there is ~3Gb free space there at the moment.

I guess it would be possible for enough email to arrive at one time 
to fill that partition, but I have never seen it happen before now.

But now that you have confirmed that is defintely the area that was 
full during that processing run, I can keep an eye on it and look 
into throwing some more disk at it.

Thanks.
