"Problem Messages" - what's happening?

[Paul Hutchings]

OK well having looked at them they're junk anyway so I deleted them from
the quarantine folder yet I'm still being emailed telling me about
"Problem Messages" that were last tried yesterday - how do I stop the
nagging emails please?

Hmm OK seeing a few of the below in my Postmaster inbox.

Doing a grep of the logs shows this:

May  9 17:03:19 relay postfix/cleanup[7749]: 8BE611FCC8:

/var/spool/MailScanner/quarantine/20090509/8BE611FCC8.A5E8C

Using 4.76.24 on CentOS 5.3.

Not sure where to begin on this one - basic background is we have
MailScanner in production and have done for years and I've not seen this
before, seems to only affect a single message out of the thousands
in/out we deal with.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Paul
