df statistics on my client host:
http://munin.rixtel.com/studio7pro.lv/mx1.studio7pro.lv-df.html
note: on April 17th i have restarted dbmail-imap daemon that's why the 
/tmp flushed
also we can note that sometimes there is some releases

Our company box:
http://munin.rixtel.com/rixtel.com/smtp-mx1.rixtel.com-df.html
there we can see that tmp is usually released and not  growing so 
quickly like on the client server. This could be because we have less 
traffic.
