Massive hit again - 8 servers and over 800M in todays quarantine folder. Another 100k hosts blocked on my rbl.There is a vulnerability here. I'm going to dig through the code tomorrow.
I wish Jules was about to let me know what the problem might be!

Hi Michael,

It doesn't appear so. I did check that since I thought at first it was a permissions issue or a disk / inodes issue. I do have a mixture of servers but one of them had 200G space free using entire disk. I had this issue on a few servers all with different disks. Some virtual and some physical. Here's one of them that had the problem - 

# df -i /var
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used   Avail Capacity iused   ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1e  20308398 11043200 7640528    59%  586627 2051195   22%   /var
# df -h
Filesystem                Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on

devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
/dev/da0s1f               6.8G    128M    6.1G     2%    /rich
/dev/da0s1d                19G     12G    5.6G    69%    /usr
/dev/da0s1e                19G     11G    7.3G    59%    /var
tmpfs                      17G    4.0K     17G     0%    /tmp
tmpfs                      17G    7.0M     17G     0%    /tmpfs
fdescfs                   1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev/fd
devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/named/dev
/usr/local/lib/engines     19G     12G    5.6G    69%    /var/named/usr/local/lib/engines


Here's another -
df -i /var
Filesystem   1K-blocks     Used     Avail Capacity iused    ifree %iused  Mounted on
/dev/mfid0p2 467188404 47435968 382377364    11% 1019908 59412858    2%   /

df -h
Filesystem                Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/mfid0p2              446G     45G    365G    11%    /
devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /dev
tmpfs                     4.2G    5.5M    4.2G     0%    /tmpfs
tmpfs                     4.2G    476K    4.2G     0%    /tmp
devfs                     1.0K    1.0K      0B   100%    /var/named/dev
/usr/local/lib/engines    446G     45G    365G    11%    /var/named/usr/local/lib/engines


Both had the same problem, nearly at the same time. 

I'm wondering if mailscanner has an open handle to that directory or if it just knows where to write to that directory, or if it somehow needs to read that directory? I'm sure I could try and reproduce the error. I'll see what I can do from here and report back. 

Thanks,
Rich

Hi Richard,

Could /var have run out of inodes instead (df -i /var)?
