/usr/sbin/MailScanner.xxxxxx files

[Gary Faith]

That is different than what I have:
 
mscan:/usr/sbin #  ls -alt /usr/sbin/MailScanner.*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 67288 Nov 10 08:11 /usr/sbin/MailScanner.20130106

That is a backup of the MailScanner program.  Yours is showing 0 bytes so it doesn't look like the backup/restore from the wiki.
 
Sorry, now I have no idea what is happening.

Hey, this is something that even I can answer!  These are backups of MailScanner.  Check /root/bin and you will probably see files like these with the main one being bold below.  There should be a cron job in /etc/cron.monthly that run the /root/bin/mailscanner-backup.sh script.

I should point something else out. The files created are 0 bytes in size!
