How high is it normally? If it is normally 10-12 MB, there may be no
problem. If is is normally 1-2 MB, you may have a compromised server that
a spammer is using to send out spam.

The first step is to identify the monster.
To do that, I would open some of those 10,000's of E-mails, and see who
they are from/to. If they are all from/to the same user, there may be a
mail loop. More likely, a spammer has found a way to send spam through
your mailserver.
