Actually, when the first time i found this "dead" file in two servers, i reboot them.

1st server (120GB IDE harddisk) : the bootup filesystem check found error in "/home" ( my maildir partition ) and goes into maintenance mode. I run fsck and it fixed the error. Then i reboot again and it pass the bootup filesystem check. However, those file generate again meanwhile.

What generated them?

2nd server (146x3 SCSI RAID 5): the bootup filesystem check found error in "/home" (my maildir parition ) and goes into maintenance mode. However, fsck can't fix the problem as it said the Inode table corrupted. No matter how i fsck and use different super block, it still fail. Finally, i re-formatted that partition and rebuild my maildir again. However, those file generate again meanwhile as well!

Again, what created those files?

I'm running about ten server with Fedora 2, with SCSI RAID5, SCSI SATA, single SATA and single IDE harddisk. For those non-email server (without qmail, courier-imap), no problem in filesystem at all. But only these two mail server.

Ah, qmail is delivering them, no? The qmail list is down the hall, second door on your left. :-)

Seriously though, something is very wrong with those servers, file systems, binaries, or some combination thereof...
