No, you are exactly right Spike... Not a big deal perhaps, since
the directories (and their content) would be cleared upon MS
restart (every ... second or so:-), but since the "postfix queue
ID fix", the header files would be left behind.
Fix is simple: just add a "." to the RE (as "-" is for exim IDs):
     $f =~ /([-.\w]+\.header)$/ and unlink "$1";
.... and all would be well.

Julian, could you do that please (if you haven't already)?
