I am estimating 75% of the original inbound message that the mail box full
postmaster message is referring to was SPAM. THAT is going to be addressed,
but will take some work and server offloading. In that case, as a pure
temporary basis, we are willing to "kill" all of those postmaster messages.
(When Declude was fully implemented, the server came to its knees. Over 300K
messages on a dual PIII 733 is not going to cut it. That is phase 2. Phase 1
is to stabilize the server. Phase 2 is to reconfigure e-mail handling via a
2 server setup and fully implement spam filtering.)
