Same email processes 268 times!

Hello -

I've been trying desperately to figure out why my MailScanner queues are so
large and cpu is pegged at 100%. When looking through the log I finally figured
out what part of the problem might be. Some messages are being processed
hundreds of times. I grepped for one messagaes and was processed 268 times, so
basically I see this (the repetitive part):

1.95, RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL 2.
05)

This has repeated 268 times with only an increment of a few seconds in the
time.

Other messages, including non-spam seem to function just fine and are processed
once.

I'm using the latest MailScanner, SA, DCC, Pyzor. This is a new build from a
week ago, so something I guess could be configured wrong.

Thanks,
Max
