Hi,

We've had a problem on our webserver where the var partition is getting full.

The culprit was this folder var/spool/courier/msgs getting full.

Great, I thought, we had a user that was keeping all of their email on the server so we got them to turn that feature off which should have cleared out the space.

This didnt happen so in an attempt to be sensible we decided to move these files to a different partition just to create some space which seemed to work. Until we check later and the partition is full again. It seems that somehow these files a re-appearing and we can't put our fingers on what is causing this.

Also our maillog files in var/log are pretty huge (2GB or so in total). not sure if this is a link. can these files have a size limit placed on them?

can anyone offer any advice on what could be the cause of these files?

thanks
