--- Comment #6 from Marc A. Pelletier <[email protected]> ---
The issue, for that instance at least, is that the MTA is running out of space
for spooling mail (forcing them to be deferred) because /var is full.

In fab2's case, there are two proximate causes:

(a) While /var/log is properly on a separate volume, there exist two other log
directories on the volume that take up several hundreds of megs of space
(/var/log2 and /var/log3).  At first glance, neither of those have been in
actual use since May 13.

(b) while a separate volume has been set aside for the mysql database,
phabricator itself seems to also use /var/tmp for large, persistent storage. 
Pointing it at (a subdirectory of) /mnt * would offer more resillience.

* I note that the extra disk space allocated to the volume has been mounted at
/mnt which is deprecated practice (in fact, it was never *correct* to do so but
that is indeed how Labs used to do it while in Tempa).  There is no necessity
to change that now, but if the instance is rebuilt in the future it would be
best if the "correct" mount point of /srv is used instead.
