Have a nice day!
I have a similar problem. After some time of the normal operation on the
mail server messages begin to accumulate in the queue. In the log:

Mar 29 12:38:00 myhost lmtpunix [28793]: IOERROR: mapping
/var/lib/imap/deliver.db.NEW file: Can not allocate memory
Mar 29 12:38:00 myhost lmtpunix [28793]: FATAL: failed to mmap
/var/lib/imap/deliver.db.NEW file
Mar 29 12:38:00 myhost lmtpunix [28793]: twoskip: /var/lib/imap/deliver.db
closed while still locked

The solution to removing deliver.db* files is temporary: after 1-2 days the
situation is repeated. I would appreciate any advice.
