Hi Mark,
It was indeed due to /var being on the full side. Saying that, the
partition is only 120MB! I've symlinked /var/mail to the /home
partition. Looks like the dormant accounts on the machine are attracting
a load of spam. I'm no longer actively managing the machine, but let me
know if you have any more problems.
Regards,
Lee.

75 is the generic error code for a temporary error. This means that

the mail server is probably experiencing a problem such as a full

So who can fix it? It's been like this for 2 weeks now. I assume that
<br>
no-one else uses their UKUG mail account, or is it just my mailbox?

Thanks.
