Hi,

I got spammed with the following message over night.

Number of messages: 1
Tries	Message	Last Tried

6	2AE74398847B.A6EE2	Tue Jan 12 22:17:26 2010

I have checked /var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db and the message is listed:

strings Processing.db 
SQLite format 3
{tablearchivearchive
CREATE TABLE archive (id TEXT, count INT, nexttime INT)J
gindexid_uniqprocessing

26E5239883ED.A900C
2AE74398847B.A6EE2

Yet the message has actually been sorted in the Quarantine ?

# ls -ld quarantine/20100112/2AE74398847B.A6EE2
drwxrwx--- 2 postfix apache 4096 Jan 13 07:31 quarantine/20100112/2AE74398847B.A6EE2

If it has been moved to the quarantine then should it not have been removed from the Processing database ?
