This happens, if there's less than 2*message_size_limit free space on /var/mail.
Check /var/log/mail

That doesn't matter. Check your main.cf. What message_size_limit have you defined?
I guess, your /var is getting temporarly quit full due to some cronjobs e.g. backup-scripts which need a lot of temp-space to zip big directories like /home.
