Thanks to xymon, I discovered that we are having some problem on
sympa :
[root at alamut bad]# du -sh . ; ls | wc -l ; pwd
949M .
238206
/var/spool/sympa/msg/bad
It seems that the problem is caused because mailer-daemon is not a valid
alias ( and so the mail is sent to itself in a loop ).
I cleaned the directory and the database, but this will likely cause
problem in a few days again.
We can send mailer-daemon@ on root@, but for the moment, this is sent to
the ml, and usually, mailer-daemon mail are not very interesting.
We can try to sent this to /dev/null, but then, maybe we would lose
potentially interesting mails.
Any idea ?
( we could also prevent loop but the only way I can think of is
reverting r1105 , and set +reject_mail_from_automates_feature on, but
this would break bugzilla ).
