yes - the messages stored in quarantine are as near to as  the came into 
the system as is possible. This is deliberate so you can get at the 
'raw' information before any potential 'breaking' occurred.


May I suggest you look at reporting packages like MailWatch for 
Mailscanner which will give you a html interface to see why the message 
wasn't delivered...
