Hi all,

I am using Sympa 3.3.3 under Debian Woody (the original woody package). Today I scanned through the /var/spool/sympa/queue directory and wondered why it was so big (approximately 280MB) although there was no message in the queue. So I did a "ls -la" and found many dot files (i.e. .1059658293.2462). It seems that Exim couldn't deliver this message and sent it back to sympa. But why is this message not moved to bad?
Here is the header of such a message:
