Are you using the bayes expire feature in 4.26.8? If you're not you
should try it (unless you're on Solaris).

The files you're seeing are orphaned due to the expire operation taking
too long to complete. I run a "sa-learn --rebuild --force-expire" from
crontab every night to fight it and since I started doing that I've had
no problems.
