Freeing up space in /var

After several hours of testing, reading and error log checking I figured out what kept hanging my mysql server... the /var partition was out of space. There's under 200MB of space free in that 7.7GB partition normally, and if someone doesn't check an active mailbox for a few days, the mail fills up the free space and things start to die.

What can I do to increase the free space on the /var partition without resizing it? I honestly don't know what's using up 7 gigs.

This is RedHat 9
