spamassassin tmp files in /tmp directory

[Venkata Achanta]

Greetings all,

   i have a high volume MailScanner server processing over 70k messages per 
day and i am noticing that /tmp is getting filled up with
spamassassin.*.*.tmp files and these are as old as feb 2005. Is something 
not right ? Arent these supposed expire by themseleves ? Should i be 
writing script to clean up the /tmp i have other boxes too but i dont see 
similar behaviour. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.

SpamAssassin version 3.0.4 running on Perl version 5.8.2
