Far more common i see is an extremely large /var/spool/mqueue dir on very 
slow (ext2) filesystem.  Consider splitting it into several queues, and 
move old messages into slower queues.

I have 10 /var/spool/mqueue/q[0-9] dirs.  Using re-mqueue.pl, messages 
older than 1 hour get moved to a 1hr queue, older than 6hrs to a 6hr 
queue, older than 1 day to a 1d queue.  1hr queue runs every 15 minutes, 
6hr once per hour, 1d once every 2 hours.
