sorting received mail in unix and another error
hello! when issuing the mail command to see my received mail, i get this error:

(server)starla:/home/starla>mail
Warning: Too many letters, overflowing letters concatenated
msgcnt 27378 vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg00/lvol4 file system full (1 block extent)
mail: no space for temp file

when i do this on another server, it gives me the "overflowing letters concatenated" message, but it displays my mail content. i know this may be related to size issue, but when i check our mountpoint, it is at 84% (that should be sufficient, right?). in any case, is there a way or a mail option that i could use to just go through my received mails??

also, is there a way for me to sort out the mails i have received according to most recently received to the oldest one? when i issue the mail command, unix gives me the output but it goes on and on, and i can't really read through it because it scrolls so fast. or is ther a way to just grep for a particular line in a message that will help me find details about it faster?

thanks!

makepercentrelay

MAKEPERCENTRELAY(8)					      Double Precision, Inc.					       MAKEPERCENTRELAY(8)

NAME

       makepercentrelay - Build a list of %-relayed domains

SYNOPSIS

       makepercentrelay

DESCRIPTION

       makepercentrelay reads /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dir and creates /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dat which is a binary database file.
       The files /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay and /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dat specify a list of "percent-hack" domains.
       /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay is a plain text file, containing one domain per line. The Courier mail server loads the contents of
       /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay into memory, so if you have a lot of domains, you will want to use the binary database file. The
       makepercentrelay command reads /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dir, which can be either a plain text file itself, or a directory containing
       plain text files. All files in the subdirectory are concatenated, and the binary database file is created from the result.

       the Courier mail server can use both /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay and /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dat at the same time. Usually you
       would put a couple of your most frequent domains in /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay, then put the rest in
       /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dir, and use makepercentrelay to turn it into a database file.

       "percent-hack" domains are a list of domains for which the Courier mail server accepts mail via ESMTP addressed as
       "local%percent.hack.domain@local.domain", where "percent.hack.domain" is a domain found in /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay or
       /etc/courier/esmtppercentrelay.dat, and "local.domain" is any domain found in /etc/courier/locals. The Courier mail server removes the
       local domain, and rewrites the address as "local@percent.hack.domain", then attempts to deliver it.

       The percent hack applies only to mail received via ESMTP. The Courier mail server does not check this list of domains if the message is
       received via any other way (such as by running /usr/bin/sendmail directly from the command line). "percent.hack.domain" would likely to be
       a domain that the Courier mail server knows how to handle via some other means. It might be an entry in /etc/courier/aliases, or an entry
       in /etc/courier/esmtproutes.
