imposed structure on a stream of electrons,
yielding:
I'm getting a lot of messages in my logs like the followingÂ
11:19:07 1 SMTP-976(flpi113.sbcis.sbc.com) temp file cannot be created
what does it mean,
SIMS uses temporary files for spooling incoming
mail. Naming is S.<10-digits> and they are
numbered sequentially, mapping to POP UID and
SMTP transaction ID.
and what might be causing it?
1. Full disk.
2. Real storage location of those temp files has
permission semantics (i.e. you've used an alias
to point SIMS at an AppleShare mounted folder)
and it is not writable by the user you've mounted
it as.
3. Badly damaged filesystem. This is the worst
case, because the SIMS folder is usually on your
boot disk in your System Folder, and filesystem
damage that would prevent the creation of a new
file there bodes ill for your system.
Setting the SMTP and System logging levels to
"All Info" can help you determine the root cause.
Temp file creation is logged by the SYSTEM module
at level 5, and errors should include a MacOS
error code that can provide a clue.
