I ocassionally (once a week) am getting:

qmail-inject: fatal: qq trouble creating files in queue (#4.3.0)

I found this list of possible problems:

-out of disk space

 3.1G free.

-out of inodes

I don't see how.  There are 56800 files in 1365 dirs on that partition.
That partition is ReiserFS.

-permissions on the queue directories are wrong
-ownership of the queue directories are wrong

Those are fine.  Like I said it is only once in week of sending > 10000
emails.  Seems like I would see a more cronic problem if this were true.


I can tell you that this does happen while we are doing a large mailing of
individual messages (not spam) to our readers.  It is not a newsletter, but
unique information for each user so we are issuing say 700-1600 mail()
commands from PHP over a period of time.  For those not familiar with PHP,
this would be one call to the sendmail alias in qmail for each call to
mail().  Perhaps I need to change PHP to use qmail-inject directly?

I do know from the logs that no more than 20-30 messages are ever in the
queue at a time.  concurrencyremote is 120 and is never approached by this
mailing.

Anyone have any ideas?
