Hi Anne,

/tmp is used for the shared memory segment files used for interprocess
communication between the preforked children and the parent process.

Those files are tiny (zero bytes, single inode) and are used for locking
only by the daemons. Running out of diskspace will affect startup of the
daemons but shouldn't affect any runing dbmail processes.

So, if you use lmtpd and run out of diskspace, restarting lmtpd will fail.
