No one will help you without your providing more
diagnostics. When a box is full, no one can magically
tell you how to get more stuff in the box. Only you can
analyze what is going on and make more room.

Although Wietse's email seems short, cryptic and
slightly acerbic it is actually very helpful.

He provided a link to Postfix problem reporting, and this
included a link to the Postfix Bottleneck analysis.
That document includes info on how to analyze what
is using up resources on your machine :
http://www.postfix.org/QSHAPE_README.html
The document at :
http://www.postfix.org/DEBUG_README.html#mail
also discusses how to report your configuration.

Only with a picture of what YOU HAVE can anyone suggest
improvements.
