State-Changed-Why:
Did you ever find what was causing this? Is it still happening?

Also you never told us what file system type (ffs, zfs, etc.) you
were using on your mail partition.

Another thing to try: when it happens use ls -lT to get the exact
time and see if it's midnight UTC (that is, timestamp 0) or 23:59:59
(that is, timestamp -1) ... if it's -1 that's likely a clue.
