Since a lmtpd process doesn't use any diskspace to speak of, I'm
guessing here: lmtpd was down, so your mailq was getting rather big.
Starting up lmtpd allowed your mta to process its queue.

Checking that critical processes really are running is a general

Mmm. The -r switch has been deprecated for some time now.

You might as well use:

dbmail-util -qqay -l 24h
or
dbmail-util -ay -l 24h 2>&1 >/dev/null

which ever you prefer.
