I've found that when the root partition runs out of space that xmail
still answers smtp connections but since there isn't space it rejects
the message. Because the smtp conversation is accepted but the
recipient is rejected the sending server doesn't retry their message.
This wouldn't make much of a difference anyway since it would come back
to the same server and the process happens all over again. In this
manner the secondary mx never gets a chance to accept the message.
Any suggestions on killing the xmail process if the server runs out of
space? It's the logs that are killing me so I just wrote a script to
purge all logs over 30 days so this should cure the problem but, if it
happens again it won't be the logs that did it and I'll be hosed again.
TIA!
Dale
