Answer

This is your mail queue, most likely it’s a program or programs sending mail(s) to users which your system doesn’t know how to deliver.

you can check the output of mailq which may (or may not) show you what’s in there, but this command depends entirely on how your system is configured.

As to what’s generating them, it’s most likely cron jobs.
