I have been running Cyrus with Exim on Debian for years now without any
problems.
The past few days though, I've been experiencing this:
Once or twice a day, a process called ctl_deliver appears when I type
"top", it consumes 50% of CPU time and doesn't stop running (I need to
kill it to stop).
This process quickly fills in my hard disk's free space by appending to
/var/log/mail.log and /var/log/syslog lines like the following, at a
rate of 1MB per minute:

And then everything stops working (because the HD is full), until I wake
up and delete the log files and kill the process.
Running "ps" shows that ctl_deliver is running with the parameter "-E 3".
What could be the problem here?
How do I solve it?
Thx,
