This is the 4th time I've installed courier-mta, but the first time I've
installed it on gentoo.  Everything seemed to work as it would
authenticate me via PAM or mysql, but it failed when it came to sending
email.  I used telnet to connect to port 25 and see what was happening:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 somewherestrange.com ESMTP
HELO somewherestrange.com
250 somewherestrange.com Ok.
MAIL FROM:<AN-EMAIL-ADDRESS>
250 Ok.
RCPT TO:<AN-EMAIL-ADDRESS>
431 Mail system full.

As this is a fresh install I couldn't believe it, but I checked my disk
usage:

Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hde2               490023     23988    440733   6% /
/dev/vg1/home         85980604     33240  85947364   1% /home
/dev/vg1/var           5242716     57268   5185448   2% /var
/dev/vg1/opt           1048540     32840   1015700   4% /opt
/dev/vg1/usr          10485436   1056264   9429172  11% /usr
/dev/vg1/tmp            524268     32840    491428   7% /tmp
none                    127888         0    127888   0% /dev/shm

Which is plenty of space on /var and /tmp.  However I did find an
mailing-list post from another person with the same problem and it
turned out he was fine for space, but out of inodes (but from what I
know reiserfs doesn't use inodes).  But I checked the inodes anyway:

Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/hde2             126976    6372  120604    6% /
/dev/vg1/home              0       0       0    -  /home <-- reiserfs
/dev/vg1/var               0       0       0    -  /var  <-- reiserfs
/dev/vg1/opt               0       0       0    -  /opt  <-- reiserfs
/dev/vg1/usr               0       0       0    -  /usr  <-- reiserfs
/dev/vg1/tmp               0       0       0    -  /tmp  <-- reiserfs
none                   31972       1   31971    1% /dev/shm

No problem there.  I'm stumped.  I have no idea why my smtp daemon would
be telling me that the mail system is full.  Has anyone out there got
any ideas what else could cause this error?
