While the problem was solved, I suggest the following as another thing to
check for when there are X problems and for preventive maintenance:
df -i
To ensure that you have enough free inodes in all writeable partitions.
In an old version of RedHat, mailman sometimes went insane and ate up all
the inodes in the partition hosting /var, and the worst problem was that
almost everything in the system worked in spite of this.
