I posted this to the mailman-users group, but either I'm the only one having this problem, or people just don't know:
I'm having an issue with 2.0.1 and news gatewaying.
It works fine, importing usenet news into e-mail and sending it out,
however /tmp is filling up with:
389120 Feb 27 20:46 filew5MNZN
There are literally hundreds of these files and almost all of then are
that same size. Does anyone know why this is ocurring? When I check the
files each one is the same (I use diff) and they all seem to contain every
post from each newsgroup I'm gatewaying.
Any help would be appreciated. I didn't see anything in the archives on
this.
Thanks!

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?
