Hi... I had the same problem quite a while ago.
What you are experiencing is the fact that your hard disk is unable to process all the queue fast enough, and is therefore just getting clogged up. It could also be that your box doesn't have enough bandwidth to send out all the emails (and hence clear the queue). Take a look at these two issues... perhaps also search the Debian ISP mailing list archives. Russell Coker and I had a long and technical discussion on speeding up qmail and such.
