One more option is to run tail -f /var/log/maillog from a root prompt
and see if you are seeing lots of email going out.
Look for from=httpd or httpd@localhost or username@localhost. The
username will tell you what user on what site owns the script sending
the mail. Then if it's a script, you should be able to track it down.
