I am using sarge with Gnome and Evolution for emailing. I need to send
an email to a bunch o people (more or less 40 addresses). I've defined a
list in Evolution in order to accomplish this. But when I try to send
the email I get the following message:

"Error while performing operation.

RCPT TO <one address here> failed: Requested action not taken:
insufficient system storage."

The <one address here> correspond to one of the address in the list. It
is not a problem with the address, but with the number of them in the
"To:" field...

I will appreciate very much any help

What's the output of
$ df -h

It sounds as though there may be a space problem in /tmp or /var?

Clive, thank you very much for the answer. The output is the following:

marcelo:~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 231M 86M 146M 37% /
tmpfs 443M 0 443M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1 45M 11M 32M 25% /boot
/dev/hda12 67G 43G 24G 65% /home
/dev/hda11 953M 144K 953M 1% /spare
/dev/hda10 953M 532K 952M 1% /tmp
/dev/hda7 4.7G 2.2G 2.5G 47% /usr
/dev/hda8 953M 5.1M 948M 1% /usr/local
/dev/hda9 953M 134M 819M 15% /var
tmpfs 10M 828K 9.2M 9% /dev
/dev/sda1 964M 420M 496M 46% /media/usbdisk

so, it is not a problem of space in my computer. In fact, I've contacted
my internet provider, and they have a limit in the number of contacts I
cand use per email!!! no more than 30 contacts. With my list of 40
contacts, I am lost... In the meantime I am using gmail, which doesn't
have this limitation...

regards

Marcelo
