You realize that when you delete the spool directory you run the risk of losing some mail. There has to be something in the spool directories that is causing the problem. Why don't you look through them the next time it happens and see if you can identify what's in there that's causing the problem. I know the directory structure is big, but it will certainly narrow it down. As you go through it move anything suspicious somewhere else and try xmail again, if it still has the problem keep looking. Once you've found the offending file then maybe we can identify what control command would be looking at it and when Davide gets back he can see if there is some kind of race condition going on in relation to it.
