A huge log can slow down things. Did you enable debug mode to get such a huge maillog file? Or were you target of mailbombing? You can manually rotate the log and start with a fresh, empty one. Another possibility is to change the logging behaviour by changing /etc/syslog.conf and restarting the syslog daemon afterwards: # Log all the mail messages in one place. mail.* /var/log/maillog Change the right hand side (the log file target) to read "-/var/log/maillog". The leading minus sign makes a difference.
