[cobalt-users] Can't open temporary file, do you own it?

["Hans van Kilsdonk" <hanz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone!

At our RAQ3i, we have a big POP3 mail problem. When we try to collect our
e-mail, we receive the following error:

There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: '[DESIGN] Info', Server: 'domain.nl', Protocol: POP3,
Server Response: '-ERR System error, can't open temporary file, do you own
it?', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number:
0x800CCC92

So I checked the KB at Cobalt. They give me the advice to delete all the
*.pop files in /var/spool/mail. But there aren't any of these files in that
dir.

The maillog says:

Dec 10 05:35:34 ns in.qpopper[10902]: Unable to open temporary maildrop
'/var/spool/mail/.user.pop': No space left on device (28)
Dec 10 05:35:34 ns in.qpopper[10902]: user@xxxxxxx: -ERR System error, can't
open temporary file, do you own it?

No space left on device? A "df" gives me:

Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1               743466    572665    170801  77% /

/dev/hda4             18134247   1468021  16666226   8% /home

Strange? What to do next?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Hans
