/tmp full

Hello,

I have a problem with dbmail on Freebsd. The situation is that dbmail
fills all the /tmp space (seems to not releasing used space/opened file)
and when it's full the imap daemon starts acting strange, postfix cant
flush new mails ... (pop daemon still works).
We have 2 installations with identical symptoms.

1. Our setup
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE-p7
dbmail 2.2.11
Mysql 5.0 hosted on dedicated server

The problem happen rarely (once in a few month) could be because the low
traffic volume.

#du -h /tmp
shows 88K used

#df -h /tmp
shows 89M used

# lsof | grep /tmp | grep dbmail
shows lots of open files ..

.....
dbmail-im 97091 nobody 18u VREG 0,92 82761 269 /tmp
(/dev/da0s1e)
dbmail-im 97091 nobody 19u VREG 0,92 82761 274 /tmp
(/dev/da0s1e)
dbmail-im 97091 nobody 20u VREG 0,92 1176746 275 /tmp
(/dev/da0s1e)
dbmail-im 97091 nobody 21u VREG 0,92 57917 279 /tmp
(/dev/da0s1e)
.....

summing the sizes seems to cerate these 89M

case Nr 2 is an installation for our client
FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p11
dbmail 2.2.11
Mysql also hosted on other server

It takes ~ 1 week to fill the /tmp

#du -h /tmp shows 734K
# df -h /tmp shows 278M
#lsof | grep /tmp | grep dbmail
shows lots of open files
.....
dbmail-im 97519 nobody 17u VREG 0,89 12840447 69 /tmp
(/dev/ad0s1e)
dbmail-im 97519 nobody 18u VREG 0,89 9689295 72 /tmp
(/dev/ad0s1e)
dbmail-im 97519 nobody 19u VREG 0,89 327779 78 /tmp
(/dev/ad0s1e)
dbmail-im 97519 nobody 20u VREG 0,89 447281 81 /tmp
(/dev/ad0s1e)
....

The probleam was also for dbmail 2.2.10 and some earlier versions
For now we have to periodically restart dbmail-imap daemon to release
/tmp. Also i have noticed that if i restart mysql (witch is on different
server)
/tmp is also freed.

How can i be useful to help solve this problem?

Best Regards,
Guntis
