I may be mistaken but to me those look like they might be procmail storing
mail in a directory because it doesn’t know what else to do with them.
 Those shouldn’t be there though so I’d probably first advise that you
resolve that issue before you start using ‘find’ in a crontab to delete
them if they are a certain number of days old or something.
