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?
