Actually it looks like the abused or virus. We are not using this server for email. We just use it as our POP authentication. So let's turn it off first. May I know how to turn it off? Thanks

You can control the settings for Message Tracking on the properties of the server in ESM. That includes how many days of logs you retain.
How many users do you on your platform? Rapid growth isn't unusual, but it depends on the number of users. Have you looked at the queues to ensure the server isn't being abused?
It is not something I would recommend turning off, because the tool can be very useful. That also just hides the symptoms, rather than dealing with the actual cause.
