Package: exim
Version: 3.12-4
Severity: normal
Hi Mark,
I just run into an interesting problem. A user reported he is unable
to send mail anymore. The Reason was easy to find: /var was full.
What is weird is the strange reaction from exim. When I tried to send
an email by manually invoking exim with
sendmail -bs -odb -oem
I was able to enter the full mail. But when I entered the "." to end the
mail I got no response. After like 5 minutes exim terminated with
421 <hostname> Timeout while reading mail data
(something like this).
I think this is a bug. exim should tell me the disk is full. More strange
when I enter another dot just after the first one I get an reply immediately
"unable to write to spool dir" etc. pp.
Please report this upstream - such weird behaviour should be left to the
Windows world ;)
Thanks
Torsten
