	As to where the spool directories are... Check the values of
SPOOLDIR and QUARANTINEDIR in mimedefang.pl.

	If clearing up some space on / solved your problem, then
*something* in your mail setup is trying to write to that partition,
possibly under /tmp.

	If this is the case, one common solution is to make /tmp a
symlink to /var/tmp, although if you do this you should also make sure
that there is a directory /var/tmp with appropriate permissions
"underneath" the /var mountpoint -- i.e. when /var is unmounted (as it
will be at some point during system bootup.)
