Mails get quarantined multiple times

[Glenn Steen]

Oooh, that's old!

Don't think MailScanner had the crash detection code in it then, so
basically any email that could crash MailScanner (it happens,
infriquently, but...:-), would appear as a loop of the kind you
describe. only remedy back then was to do what you've done already...
Removing the offending message from the queue manually.

If you upgrade to the latest/greatest, it includes logic (the
processing database feature) that will automatically remove any
message/queue ID (and quarantine it) that gets seen more than a set
number of times (6 by default).

So... go do that upgrade;)

Cheers!
