Today a message registered an unfamiliar error in postfix: Jan 7 20:10:26 geulah postfix/smtpd[2021]: connect from host67.72.248.165.conversent.net[72.248.165.67]

To my mind, this looks like a file system error on the Postfix (appears to be 2.0.6) box, except: a) I've verified that I can create files in the directories in /var/spool/postfix, and the disk has plenty of space; b) messages have gone by normally, before and since (hundreds of messages) and c) this message series appears three times, one for each time (3) that this particular SMTP server (client? I always get confused) tries to send this particular message. (Each time a different file name, though.) So, scratching my head, the only thing that I can think that, somehow, the message body itself is causing the filesystem to throw up. Eh?
