I'm certain Dovecot didn't create this file at least directly.

This is a dotlock and it can be created by Dovecot. You could also
probably disable it. http://wiki.dovecot.org/MboxLocking http://wiki.dovecot.org/MailboxFormat/mbox
other users create these files randomly as well in /var/spool/mail, / var/spool/mail is an NFS mount.
Hmm. NFS is a pretty good suspect here. I know that in some situations
it creates such temp files, although they're usually
named .nfs.something. Are those files deleted or are they just lying
around? What size do they have?
