I found that all kind of garbage collects in there. Documentation says that
files should only collect there if the server crashes etc., but my server
will go months without rebooting, and still that Spool directory fills up
with crap.
Documentation also says that anything over a week old is safe to delete, so
I wrote a small program that is scheduled to run once a day. It looks at
every file in the spool directory and deletes anything over 7 days old.
Keeps things reasonably clean without my having to remember to go in there
and do it by hand.
