Smptd crashes because messages longer than 64K are written
to a file rather than into memory. A rather quaint #define VMLIMIT
sets this value.

Unless /mail/tmp is generally writeable (chmod o+w /mail/tmp),
the temporary file cannot be created, since smtpd runs as none.

| smptd seems to be crashing every time a message with an attachment 
| is sent to someone in our org.  Any thoughts?

I sometimes seem bounces which mention a yacc stack overflow.
Could be related.
