Howdy,

When I configured my server, I did not make the var partition large enough. My problem has been that email messages are killing my server. Some idiot sent three emails which combined were over 100 mb total.

Can I move the mqueue directory to another partition and then do a link, ie move the mqueue directory to /home, which is a huge partition, and then create a link to it by going ln -s /var/spool/mqueue /home/mqueue mqueue ?

What do you think? Any ideas what to do?

Thanks,
