Shifting to koha-devel as this is a better place for these kind of questions.

Looking at the list of logs, the culprit is your mailer, it is filling
up your log dir, its probably not configured correctly and is unable
to send mail. I would stop whatever mta you have running, from
running. Until you have time to configure it correctly, then you can
safely remove the .1 mail.log and mail.info logs.

Whenever you start getting big log files from your mailer, you know
something is going wrong, or you are sending piles of mail. I would
also make sure you turn off any cron jobs you have set to mail things.
