Try this instead:
du /var | sort -nr | head -n 25 | sendmail

Thank you! I knew something like that had to exist.
It turns out there was a core dump I had not noticed. I had the idea of
running ls -SlhR /var/ > /.../var_contents.txt and looking for anything huge.

All log-files you like to have rotated, should be mentioned there.
System owned logs are in there per default.
"du -k /var" will tell you where your space is being "consumed".
Maybe your "/var/mail/root" is growing...
How big is your /var anyway?

I've noticed that my /var partition, on a machine being used as a desktop, is
about 80% full and would like to know what in it can safely be deleted, or if
there is some accepted way to trim log files down with a cron job, etc.
Thanks!
