Hi all

Apparently is a file system issue.I tried to copy a 10MB file and it failed.

I did as follow.

su vmail
cp /root/huge_file /var/vmail/domain.tld/user1/Maildir/tmp

and i got the same result. "No space left on device"

So I have to look somewhere else!!!

Thanks to you all

Thanks for answering me.
