I've had this problem basically every time I've ever loaded a RaQ. I 
think it has something to do with Procmail for us. But one of our 
standard procedures when loading a new RaQ is to wipe out 
the /var/spool/mail directory (which just removes it and the links to 
mailboxes inside, not the mailboxes themselves. Then we create a 
symbolic link in /var/spool to the /home/spool/mail directory called 
mail, like this (BE SURE TO BACK-UP AND NEVER DO THIS ON A PRODUCTION 
SERVER):

  rm /var/spool/mail -R
  cd /var/spool
  ln --symbolic /home/spool/mail mail

This just merely changes the links to each individual mailbox one link 
for the entire spool directory. Never had a problem with BOGUS files 
ever again :) Hasn't seem to bother the RaQ in over a year of practice.
