What is your mail program?  I know on the system we use (which is IMAP),
I have to manually purge the messages and then compress my folders to
re-gain the space.  You could also look into archiving some old logs.
/var is on it's own partition I assume?

Subject: Out of disk space..how to free


 We are using Webmin for our email server and we have been receiving the
following message:At boot up:     File system full After boot up:    low
on space (have 0,SMTP - DAEMON needs 01 i /var/spool/mqueue I'm
unfamiliar with FreeBSD, but I've worked with Linux in the past.  How do
I free up some space?  I've already deleted about 5000 email messages
and rebooted the server (FreeBSD 4.0) about 4 times with the same
messages.  Got any ideas and directions?Thanks,Tom
