Files still being created in /var/spool/mmdf/lock/home

Hi all

I need help finding a process that is continuing to create files in the above area. There are three sub folder titled addr q.local and msg . I have already found a process called mmdf running and have used the kill command to stop this from running. I have also looked for sendmail or qmail but neither are running.

These files continue to be created and all start with msg and then have very obscure names after the dot. The system in question is also running slow which I can only assume is caused by the same process that it doing this.

The O/S is Sco Unix Release 5. Any help would be appreciated.
