Due to lack of quota configuration and proper partitioning on my part, my /var partition filled up last night around 3:00 AM from a handful of 50M mail spools. (Yeah, lets check "Leave mail on server", grar). Anyway. I don't have an extra hard drive to throw in the machine to put /var on. NFS is not an option. The idea I came up with was to shutdown sendmail, pop3, and imapd, mv /var/spool/mail /hosting/mailspool (which has 30~G free), ln -s /hosting/mailspool /var/spool/mail, then startup sendmail, pop3, and imapd.
Will sendmail/pop3/imapd work with the symbolic link? Anyone tried this, or think of any immediate problems I would have with this?
