Are you sure you don't have some cron job running or something that is cranking out NEW messages? What are the nature of the messages? ie Is is a regular mail message that you (someone) is trying to send to someone, and fails? Or more like the status of something that ran/failed. Just by default, you can plan on root to get a status report mailed to it once or twice a day. And if you have other things setup, more. And lots of process that don't a tty associated with it, will get the output mailed to the user or root. cron is a good example of this.
