So, the problem I had yesterday was different (an user error).

The first time I had this problem some moths ago (I fixed it simply
stopping and restarting the mail thread from ZMI MailHost) I was
getting an authorization error on authentication with the mail server
on the one of the instances (but only with one of them). No mail was
lot, simply they were kept in the queue.
Unluckily I didn't find details on about the traceback error and
logrotate did it job; I don't have this log now.

Let's forget this for now. I will revive this thread if it will happen again.

Thanks and sorry for the noise.
