Every now and then I get an nntp buildup, such as:

-rw-r--r--  1 root        17073 Mar 31 01:23 nntp.a01263
-rw-r--r--  1 root        37712 Mar 31 01:23 nntp.a01634
-rw-r--r--  1 root         3526 Mar 31 02:08 nntp.a02308
-rw-r--r--  1 root        10383 Mar 31 02:09 nntp.a02358
-rw-r--r--  1 root         8617 Mar 31 05:26 nntp.a04349
-rw-r--r--  1 root         9583 Mar 31 05:25 nntp.a05502
-rw-r--r--  1 root         7796 Mar 31 09:00 nntp.a08503
-rw-r--r--  1 root        31650 Mar 31 09:01 nntp.a09344
-rw-r--r--  1 root        28105 Mar 31 11:26 nntp.a11368
-rw-r--r--  1 root        11272 Mar 31 16:45 nntp.a17040
-rw-r--r--  1 root        21426 Mar 31 16:45 nntp.a17577

I eventually end up deleting the files that don't get processed.  What
program is suppose to take care of this?  Is there something that I can
run by hand, or is this normal?  Thanks much.
