I'm currently running spamassassin 3.2.1-1~bpo.1 from the Debian etch-backports branch (yes, I know that backports now has 3.2.4 available, and I'll be upgrading shortly).

On my installation, I'm calling SpamAssassin from MIMEDefang, and so I'm not running spamc and spamd .

I just discovered that over the last several weeks, I'm getting an accumulation of hidden .spamassassin temporary files accumulating in /tmp, that aren't getting deleted, and as a result, that volume is filling up.

I'm not aware of any operational changes that have been made, so this one is puzzling.

I can easily set a cron job to find and discard the accumulation, but I'd prefer to find the source of why these files are getting left in /tmp, and fix the problem, rather than simply managing the symptoms.

Any idea of why this might be happening?
