postfix - an account with the name 'info' does not recieve messages


I am running a redhad enterprise linux 4es. I made an account with the name info. When I send a message to this account, I get the following message:

The Postfix program

<root@onb.com.sd> (expanded from <info@onb.com.sd>): cannot access mailbox
/var/mail/root for user root. error writing message: File too large


After this I created many other accounts, and they recieve and send messages with no problems.

Please help..

k well then my guessing is that there is an aliases setup.

Also how are you storing the emails? Maildir or mail setup?
