      I ran out of inodes today on my pfsense box and after some investigation found that mailscanner was using over 960k.

      Does anyone know why this happens? Or how to fix it and still use mail scanner?

      Thanks.

        Apparently the temporary files are not deleted at all after being scanned by SA. (Permissions/service account issue or whatever.)

          So can i just manually remove everything in that directory without causing a problem?

            Yeah, but that won't solve the real issue.
