I lost an e-mail message and went to look in the /var/mail/maillog
for return address of the sender. To my surprise all of the
/var/mail/maillog* files were empty (of length zero). And so was
the latest /var/log/mesages ...

The partition where /var resides is only 81% full...  Ideas? Thanks!

P.S. The person from Ports team in charge of tiff-3.4 port integration,
please, contact me again. It is your message I lost. Sorry.
