Dear Collegues,

I have a dec alpha 400 4/166 server. Recently the system was bocked because a
huge mail message (13 MB!) was send to the pop server and it got stuck in
the /tmp directory filling it up.

I would like to know if it is possile to redirect the /tmp directory in an
other file system where I have more space in order to overcome the small
space available on the /tmp of the system disk.

Moreover, if I cannot redirect the /tmp is it possible to define a limit
in the size of mail message that can be accepted by the server ?

thank you for your help
