Pete,

We have a similar problem though without the corrupt messages.

We take care of this using a script polling the hold dir every 2 
minutes.. (till we have a clear solution)

[root at serv ~]# more /scripts/clear_tnef.sh
#!/bin/bash

/bin/ls /var/spool/postfix/hold/tnef* > /dev/null 2>&1
RETVAL=`echo $?`

if [ $RETVAL -eq "0" ]; then
	# You could also rm -f in place of mv -f
         /bin/mv -f /var/spool/postfix/hold/tnef* /tmp/
else
         echo "Not done" > /dev/null 2>&1
fi

The corresponding cron entry..
00-59/2 * * * * /scripts/clear_tnef.sh > /dev/null 2>&1
