Mark,

I looked through the error log and this has been happening to just one 
list I have and been going on since the 19 Oct.

I also looked at the digest.mbox and there is only two in there.

Peeking at the shunt files there is some unprocessed spam in it from a 
while back, like a couple months ago. And about 200 files in there from 
this particular list.

Just wanted to fill you in on what I've found on my system.
