mqueue and mqueue.in have more files than necessary ... should I worry?

[TAC Forums]

Hi

We have a Sun Cobalt RaQ 550 with MailScanner/sendmail running....

I just noticed that the mqueue and mqueue.in directories have more
files than necessary ...

When I run 'mailq' - it says
==================================
  /var/spool/mqueue (160 requests)
==================================


But when I run 'ls /var/spool/mqueue | wc' - it says
==================================
  47238   47238  708570
==================================

And when I run 'ls /var/spool/mqueue.in | wc' - it says
==================================
   8360    8360  125390
==================================

Should I worry?

Regards
