It says "on /" so I'd say it's your root filesystem. I realise it says it's
not full in the df but it's only got 15M free, so if someone is receiving a
big chunky email it could be filling it up. When sendmail discovers there
isn't enough space it deletes the half written mail from the disk and you're
back to square one. You might want to look moveing /var onto a bigger
disk/partition.
Also, /proc is always going to be full, it's not a disk at all, it's an
interface for exchanging info with the Linux kernel,
