Hmm, I see none of these on mail.python.org which gates
comp.lang.python and comp.lang.python.announce (in both directions).
Python's nntplib doesn't appear to create any temp files, so I don't
think it's coming from there, and I'm /sure/ Mailman doesn't create
any temp files.
Is your usenet software on the same machine as Mailman? Could those
files be created by your news s/w? Who is the user and group owner of
those files?

But your question is valid, and I hadn't thoughtof it. The gatewaying stuff I have left in the mailman crontab and there's not anyway it should be able to create those files as 'root', unless the wrapper's doing it.
In any event, I have no idea what's causing this. As for 'usenet software' I'm not using anything but the gatewaying software. The usenet server's not on the same machine, it's at a different ISP...and again, like I said, each of those files is specifically a file full of each usenet posting that I have gatewayed.
I'm stumped.

Are these files that your gating from mail to news, from news to mail, or both? Because if it's in only one direction, that might help narrow the problem down.
Gating from news to mail happens by cron/gate_news. Gating from mail to news happens by the ToUsenet.py handler run by the qrunner. Neither should be able to create root owned files (if they were owned by user or group `mailman', then I'd be more suspecting of a Mailman problem).
