Thanks. That has to be fetchmail. Verified by stopping it.

The solution may be interesting to others. After unsuccessfully playing
with the options of fetchmail, I discovered that the reason was a huge
mail sitting on my ISP.

fetchmail[2695]: reading message h.fi...@gmx.de@pop.gmx.net:1 of 1
(10652260 octets) (log message incomplete)
fetchmail[2695]: SMTP error: 552 5.3.4 Message size exceeds fixed limit

That caused fetchmail to go frantic. *g* After deleting the mail via
the web all was well again.

You could also have (temporarily) increased the max size setting for emails on 
your SMTP server.
10MB is quite low these days.

 That would require digging into the depths of postfix. I should have
 done this when my ISP changed to SSL. It is on my todo list.
 Meanwhile I have changed my SeaMonkey SMTP from localhost to the
 ISP. :)

In /etc/postfix/main.cf set

message_size_limit = 1

for a 100MB limit or whatever you wan't.
