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.
