If you get a "poison msg", each SMTP process that SMTPD dispatches
over to send it will pick it up and go zombie, one after the other,
aka the domino effect ("dominoe" if you're Quayle, "doe doe doe,
those black things we kill in TX", if you're Bush) the few that don't
move a little bit of mail, but nothing like normal. Now if you got a
bad msg to a list of 1500, you have 1500 bad msgs. copy them to
save, reboot to clear the zombies, and try again.
