Orphan files are files present in the mailstore that are no longer referenced in any mailbox. The system should automatically clear such files. You can fix this manually with omscan -a -f -x.

However, it is also possible (though unlikely) that it is a message that got accidentally unlinked in a user's mailbox. If that's the case you will need to use omcontain to relink it back into the mailstore.
