>>Did you check the messages log to see when it was shutdown?   

Yes , after your suggession, i checked the /var/log/messages and found that on
13th Jan 2004 it is giving the following messgaes, and just at that time
/var/log/maillog had been stopped. I mean the last messages at /var/log/maillog
was at Jan 13 02:30:23.

And i am seeing the /var  partition is 87% full. The other log files are
running fine..

Thanks again..
