Thanks at:Todd Acheson, Dr. Tom Blinn, Steve VanDevender,
Steven Johnson and George Marinos.
The correct answer was of George Marinos:
# cp /vmunix /vmunix.save
# dbx -k /vmunix
(dbx) patch AllowQuotaFailuresForRoot=1
(dbx) quit
#
In 4.0 root is exempt from quotas. In 3.2 it wasn't. Sendmail writes
in /v/s/m as root.
Thanks.
