<p class="MsoNormal">i didnt try it yet... but if i set the number of attempts to 0 what will happen? i would like to just delete these emails immeidately, i dont see a need to retry it after 5 minutes.<br>
<br>
if 0 is not the right way to accomplish this, what is the correct way to dump emails that attempt to kill the process?<br>
