I've seen this before with specific users having a specific regexp in their sieve script, and then an email with very big header arriving that that regexp runs on. Check your MTA mail queue and see if there are deferred emails and if they're all for one user. Also have a look in /proc/$pid$/fd for a few of the lmtp processes, see if they're all trying to deliver to the same user.
