Interesting - I have dbmail 2.2.11-1etch0 installed on Debian Etch from the packages on the http://debian.nfgd.net/debian apt source. I see this same problem once a month on our Linux servers. To fix we restart all dbmail processes. I imagine that when you restart mysql-server it causes whichever dbmail process it is that is using up the space to release it. What I noticed is that running du -hs on the drive shows that there is plenty of space free, so I'm thinking that somewhere a temporary file is being deleted while still open and being written to. So the file listing entry is deleted but the space is not made available until the file handle is closed. I hope this helps any with finding a solution.
