[-- Attachment #1 --] Usually you have your logs in /var/ so I would look into cleaning up the /var/log/maillog and other files on a regular basis and/or it could be because of /var/mail where all the mail spools are at. You can run a script that can rotate or clean the files in /var/logs/ and/or you can setup a disk quota in /var/mail to control the size of mail spools usually sysadmins set this up to be about 5-10MB but it might vary depending on the system needs..
