I had this once.

I was using bulk_mailer and /tmp was getting full.

bulk_mailer has a couple of bugs that you need to work around.  First,
it doesn't do all of the error checking that it should.  Second, it
explicitly uses /tmp instead of using tmpnam(3) which would make use of
the information in $TEMP for what directory to use.

I have not fixed bulk_mailer in anyway, but to make it sort of work
on my system I made it use /usr/tmp (which has much more space on my
machine).  I keep on planning to fix it and submit a patch, but haven't
actually done so.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
