I stopped Dovecot, backed up the tens of thousands of files in /var/spool/smtpd/offline/, then deleted them, then started Dovecot again. Everything runs fine, so I guess those files weren't important, at least not to Dovecot.
I also found the major problem consuming so much /var space was Void Linux' package cache files, so I deleted all of those more than 3 months old. Soon I'll make a daemon or a cron job that deletes old files in these two directories, and probably a lot more.
