That is a "signal file" from the init script to tell the cron-job that
there is a need to run... Or rather no need.
It is created by sunning "service MailScanner stop" and removed by
running "service MailScanner start" ... I'm guessing your run the
former, the used manual measures to start everything up(?)... If you
do "service MailScanner restart" everything should be cleared up.
