/tmp issue

[Mark E. Donaldson]

I had the same problem as well on SuSE. To fix it, I had to change the
/etc/sysconfig/cron setting of  OWNER_TO_KEEP_IN_TMP="root" to "".

I'm having the same problem (I have to nuke them about once a day or they
get out of control).  I'm not getting any SA timeouts, either.
Some of the info I've been finding online points to clamav causing them, not
SA.

Mailscanner seems to create a tmp directory in /tmp on one of our servers
for each and every e-mail.

It fills /tmp with tmp dirs that look like tmp0d864484 etc.

What is causing this??

How can we make it stop?

Versions:
SA 2.64
MS - latest stable
OS - Whitebox
MTA - sendmail
MailWatch is also installed, but has been heavily modified
