I went through /var cleaning this up myself yesterday.   I found the
httpd-access.log and httpd-error.log was quite large and wouldn't turn
over after a certain date or size.  I also saw the snmpd.log was
getting pretty big.   I see that you've checked mail already.  My
cacti user mailbox was quite large as well.   ...just a few more
things to check...
