Very large directory

Hello,
I have a pair of servers that act as SMTP/AV gateways. It seems that even
though we've told the AV software not to store messages, it is anyway.
They've been running for a little while now - and recently we've noticed a
lot of disk space disappearing. Shortly after that, a simple du into our
/var/spool returned a not so nice error:
du: fts_read: Cannot allocate memory
No matter what command I run on that directory, I just don't seem to have
enough available resources to show the files let alone delete them (echo *,
ls, find, rm -rf, etc.)
I'm hoping someone else here might have a suggestion as to what I can do to
fix this.
Thanks,
Phillip Salzman
