I Have replied to this mail earlier, but apparently the reply hasn't arrived,
for me it was a cron job which kept filling the mailq in the end quota was
exceeded and that crashed the cpu's, you could say it's a local dos exploit
:p if a user has cron access and adds * * * * * /path/to/non-existing/file 

the mailq will fill/quota will exceed and the server will crash, I'm not
sure this will happen on all FreeBSD systems but it did on mine.

even ls couldn't return the number of files in the mail queue directory
