it happens to me too from freebsd 6.0 'till today. I'm doing a 2GB /tmp on every dbmail server now and sometime i restart mysql.
It's not dbmail the problem, it's mysql. It you restart mysql, even without restartin dbmail, everything fixes. But it only happens with dbmail, so i would say it's a dbmail problem :-) Ok, sorry for the confusion; i just wanted to scream "ME TOOO!!!" :) Il giorno 22/apr/09, alle ore 16:20, Guntis Bumburs ha scritto: > Hello, > > I have a problem with dbmail on Freebsd.
