Invalid qf files

I'd like to revisit the invalid qf files issue if I may.  At this moment
I've got four in my /var/spool/mqueue.in directory, each of which is
considered invalid because there is no /^R/ line.  I'm not sure how to go
about finding the cause of this.

On the flip side, would it be possible to change the logging behaviour
somehow?  Each of the MailScanner processes is logging an error for each of
the invalid qf files every five seconds.  So with the default of five
MailScanner processes and only a single invalid queue file I'm getting an
average of one error per second entered into the log file.  I'm sure you can
see why this could very quickly lead to log bloat with even a small number
of invalid files.
