well just guessing here but if they say defanged in them the only thing I know
that does that is anomy-sanitizer which I just put into contribs. The only
reason it would be doing this at all is if you are being sent a whole bunch
of virii. In which case it deletes the atachment from the email and saves it.
It should be under /var/spool/sanitizer or some such though. For some reason
mine does not save it but instead just deletes it.
It would be my guess you are getting a ton of virii and your anomy is
misconfigured and throwing all the stuff into your /root dir for some reason.
But who knows I may be wrong. Thats just a guess.
