XFOR: Internet Mail Service Does Not Clean Up Temp Files When Shut Down During Transfer

MORE INFORMATION

Although these temporary files are "stranded," they do not represent lost mail. The sending host will try to deliver the mail later, because the entire transaction was not completed. These stranded files can be deleted if necessary, without impacting the Internet Mail Service performance.

Below is a sample of what you should see in the stranded temporary file:
