Hmmm... can't say for sure, but this looks similar to what happened
one day when I messed up (yep, I'm one of those system admins that
messes up every now and then) and had a drive max out as a result of
a new backup proceedure that didn't work quite right just before a
huge Mailman mailing.

	While not maxing out the drive would prevent the problem
from occuring, research let me to add a 'CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL' rule
to the servers sendmail.cf file - just in case I screw up in the
future. Basically, what happens is things are shut down then they
restart but the mail in queue that was spewed during the shutdown
ends up being reprocessed. The CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL rule gives you
control over how many times this will occure.

	Haven't tested it though :-)
