Nah.
Might be that they are some very strange files? Zip-bombs come to
mind.... Or your file command misbehaving?
You can probably "catch" them in the act in the MailScanner incoming
directory ... And check that that hasn't run full or something like
that.... The files are in subdirectories like
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/<PID of worker>/<queue ID>/<the actual
files> (IIRC:-).
