Hi Folks,

finally I managed to run a receiving sendmail with a dyndns-Domain 
(using defaults and webmin helps fine *g-*)

No my prob:
The last german LAN-Line contained a mailserver-test-suite, which i 
ran. While running the tests the suite sends tons of mails and my 
mailbox has been overflown (about 49 megs!). Fetching mails of the 
tested account wasn't possible anymore

Server-answer:
Unable to copy mail spool file to temp dropbox 
/var/mail/.gschiffer.pop: No space left on device (28)

I killed all the files which are connencted with the account and 
touched /var/spool/mail/gschiffer. It works again

samba:/var/spool/mail # df -h /var/
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc2             164M   78M   86M  48% /var
samba:/var/spool/mail #

Has anyone of you an idea about the default mailbox-size and how I 
can fix to e.g. 10 megs and how I can prevent mailbombing on 
certain accounts?

Thx for tipps

CU
