I believe you can do either of the following;
Upgrade to a newer debugfs which has the rmdir function
implemented
remove the directory.
or
Using debugfs, cd into /var/log/mail and remove each file,
I believe this will work even though the normal rm command fails
and if it doesn't like the name I think you can use the inode to
delete the file.
Make sure you run fsck on the drives after this.
Good luck
