It was on my mind, because yesterday one of my clients sent me an
email to ask what had happened to some of their customers' emails, and
you guessed it... (Some problem with an email containing a gigantic
ZIP had left several huge temp files filling up the amavis temp
partition on one server, and while all processes were still running,
amavis had no room to unpack and scan mails so all mail after that had
been backing up. As it only affected one of 3 servers, some mail was
still coming through, which obscured the problem.)
