Using the super user account (root), you should be able to get an idea
of what the file is with a command such as:


postcat -q D8AE419185 | head -n 200 | less

The file can be deleted with: postsuper -d D8AE419185

You can also limit the max message size in main.cf with
the message_size_limit configuration, such as:

message_size_limit = 10240000

for a limit of 10 megabytes.
