I ran into the same problem a few times when using the TNEF expander 
program.  I posted essentially the same question as you, and there was a 
consensus to switch to the internal expander.  After making the switch, 
   I haven't noticed the problem again.

In my MailScanner.conf, I now have the following:

TNEF Expander  = internal
#TNEF Expander = /usr/bin/tnef --maxsize=100000000
