What version of James are you running?
We have noticed this happening in the past, although I'm not sure what have
caused it in your case. There is locking in the server that should prevent
multiple threads from trying to write/access a file at the same time,
however I've noticed that sometimes Java treats a "delete" as asynchronous
(meaning you can delete a file, and then do a listing of that directory and
still see it).
Also, removing all the files from a spool should be fine.
Are you saying the log file fills up your disk? Can you look and see if
there is a stack trace of the problem anywhere?
