    Here is my guess (after seeing it happen many time here):

    Do you have a virus scanner running? It is often from a virus
    scanner removing a file before Fluffy has passed it off. Fluffy
    handles virus scanning by packing the mail into a zip file,
    calling the command-line scanner, and waiting for the
    response code. If the virus scanner detects and deletes the
    file before Fluffy has finished with it, Fluffy throws a fit. It
    expects to find a file that doesn't exist anymore!

    That's my guess, anyway. I've only seen it happen when
    under heavy virus load, and the virus scanner doesn't behave
    properly (happens with all of them somtimes). I'm using
    Sophos right now, and it can go days without a restart, and
    then 8 times in a few hours.

    I have a network services monitor that checks Fluffy every 60
    seconds. If Fluffy doesn't respond, the monitor issues
    a "Restart" to the service, so I don't have to worry about it
    (WhatsUp Gold is fantastic!).

    That's my $0.02

    I think it's a virus-infected email. Fluffy saves the file as a
    temporary measure, but it gets dleeted by the AV program,
    so it isn't there any more. And fluffy gets upset.

    I get this error quite a bit. At least once a day. I am running
    AVG 7.0 Network Edition. I was under the impression that
    this Anti-virus scanner for Fluffy is not implemented yet. I
    guess it is, and screws up in its logic.
