First see what's filling it:

du -sh /var/storage/*

1.8G /var/storage/chroot-smtp

Your SMTP proxy is backed up.
Check to see if it's configured correctly, and try flushing it.

You could also empty the http proxy if you are out of disk space, as a temporary relief, but the smtp proxy is the real problem.

Flush it how?

The configuration seems fine, emails are coming in and out...

Maybe restart the firewall?

Flushing the SMTP-Proxy in Webadmin (v6):

Proxies -> Proxy Content Manager

You can delete old mails 'by hand' or use
the 'Automatic Cleanup' feature ..

There are no entries in the proxy content manager, I empty these regularly.

Any other ideas?

Check the filesystem again, and find exactly what is using the space...

e.g.
du -sh /var/storage/chroot-smtp/*
...
until you find what's using the space.
It could be core files, mail queues, ...

make sure you have a backup of your ASL config first.

I'd advise emailing support@Astaro.com about this also.
send them a list of the files in that tmp dir
(ls -l)

see if there are any messages in the smtp proxy queue (content manager) you don't want to lose. if so, try to flush them first.
stop the smtp proxy

as root (su if you aren't)
cd to the directory first
and do
rm -r *

re-start the smtp proxy.
