Re: BOGUS.root.xxx files

That's helpful, but actually I'm looking for *why* they appear and how to
stop it from happening, if anyone can tell me.

From the procmail HISTORY file
1997/04/28: v3.11pre7
            Changes to procmail:
               - Cater for a race condition that occurs if two procmails
                 try to create an empty system mailbox (bogus BOGUS.* files)


As a guess, you share your mailspool via NFS and on one or more of the
nonservers someone is trying to run procmail as root
