You can get rid of the bayes_toks.expire* files.  This problem is well
covered in the archives - it used to bite people regularly.  The bayes
database is taking too long to be rebuilt - you can bump up the
frequency that it happens, or even turn it off in MailScanner and do it
via a cron job.  Check the comments in MailScanner.conf for bayes auto
expire and maybe the archives too.

HTH...
