Hi,

I got this alert last week.  I starting looking through what was on
/var to see what it was, and the strange thing is that all the mail
files are symlinked to /home, *except* - my admin mailbox - which
was gi-normously large.  I zeroed it and set up an account to POP it
(which I hadn't been doing before).  Problem solved.

I had also thought that it may have been some veeeery large 
bounced emails (over 200 MB) but realized the mqueue is also
aliased/symlinked to /home partition, so that was not the cause.

Just another thought to throw out there.  Let us know if you solve
the problem.

cheers
Nathan
