Found nn messages in the processing-messages database

Hi,

I'm coming in a bit late here and am trying to catch up on this thread. I
have had a good read but would appreciate some advice
on the following:

On the mail server that ground to a halt on me (frequently) about a week
ago, it's currently showing 384 messages in the processing queue, stretching
back
to 20th April. Here's the top of the list:

Are these entries now considered 'spurious' and do I need to take any
action, wait for the current MailScanner beta release to go stable or even
install it now? Or do I have an ongoing problem!?

Thanks
