Sounds like you know what you are talking about. I also have this
issue sometimes, namely batxxxx.tmp files in the temp directory. Seems
to depend onthe weather or what whether I have them (and then in the
thousands per day) or not. Your article explains it.

However, over here most of these tmp files have a length of 0 (zero)
bytes. Would you venture to take a guess at what may cause
those? I am not losing any mails.
