I deleted the message, but it's still sending these alerts.  The message doesn't exist in /var/spool/mqueue (or anywhere else for that matter).  What do I need to do to finish cleaning up this error message.  I was hoping after 6 days it would go away on it's own like normal undeliverable mail does, but no such luck.

The solution in short:

reproduce your problem message with
/usr/sbin/MailScanner --processing

stop MailScanner, remove the processing DB and restart MailScanner with
/etc/init.d/mailscanner stop && rm
/var/spool/MailScanner/incoming/Processing.db && /etc/init.d/mailscanner
start

check success with
/usr/sbin/MailScanner --processing
which should give empty output now
