Donna's got it right...  Our servers were hit hard by an influx of virus
messages.  They didn't get through to the lists, but they ended up
filling a directory on the mail server.

Long story short:

I wrote some scripts that fixed the problem on the mail server.  However,
the process ended up sending out doubles of some messages that were sent
in the middle of February.  Everything should be good now.  :)
