Can you try this for me please?
Edit /usr/lib/MailScanner/Message.pm
Look for the "sub DeliverUnscanned"
Add a line
         $store->Delete();
right at the end of that sub.

I can't find why it would not be deleting the qf file, as it definitely 
should. Odd that it only happens on 1 or 2 systems, I certainly can't 
reproduce it here :(
