The implication is that Declude is interrupting part of SmarterMail's normail process. Now I know this is essentially what Declude does anyway, but shouldn't Declude know the difference between a message that has finished SMTP and SmarterMail is ready to deliver, and a message that is incomplete in the SMTP process and an SMTP retry is occurring so this failed message should be ignored? Otherwise we are going to get thousands of unneccessary incomplete messages dumped into the error folder that is going to do nothing other than to take up disk space. Not to mention that if some other type of error occurs that puts a message in the error folder, we'll never find it because its buried under all these other superfluous messages. Before 4.2.20, this wasn't a problem. -------- Original Message -------- > From: "David Barker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 3:24 PM > To: declude.junkmail@declude.com > Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] 4.2 build 20 Released 6 July 2006 > > Gary, > > This is a SmarterMail issue.
