These are not mail messages (those would be in "deferred" not
"defer"). These are "defer logs", used to construct the per-recipient
error reasons in bounce messages.
They are best left alone, but can be deleted with care, something
along the lines of:
# postfix stop
# postsuper -s
# cd /var/spool/postfix
# (find defer -type f -print;
find deferred -type f -print) |
perl -lne '
if (m{^defer/(?:.*/)?(.*)$}) {
$defer{$1} = $_;
} elsif (m{^deferred/(?:.*/)?(.*)$}) {
delete $defer{$1};
}
END {
while (($id, $path) = each(%defer)) {
if (unlink($path)) {
printf "%s defer log deleted\n", $id;
} else {
warn "unlink: $path: $!\n";
}
}
}
