Re: Disappearing Disk Space

[Jim Strickland <jims@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually, Tenon support contacted me. We did a ps -ax and found that SpamAssassin was hanging up. I had my SpamAssassin filter set up with about 20 domains whitelisted. I deleted my SpamAssassin filter and reset it without any whitelists. So far everything seems to be going ok. I will be keeping a close eye on things for the next several hours to see if disk space continues to disappear. If the problem is fixed, I will slowly add whitelisted domains back in until I see the problem happen again. That should let me know which entry is causing the problem.
