What's the output of:

Strange; is the 2MB file still there?

ls -l /var/spool/clientmqueue
file /var/spool/clientmqueue/*

Yep.  Still there.  file lists it as data.  Here's the output:

[root@marius clientmqueue]# ls -l
total 2099200
-rw-rw----  1 markh smmsp 2147483647 Sep 20 17:07 dfi8KL00F0004975
[root@marius clientmqueue]# file *
dfi8KL00F0004975: data

That's not 2MB, it's 2GB! It's not surprising that that mail couldn't be delivered.


How about ps uaxww | grep mail?

The file is owned by you so it's one of your processes that's generating it. Do you have any cron jobs set up that might generate large volumes of output?

Paul.
