I've done a couple of hours digging on the net regarding this problem and
found a ton of hits but no solutions. Sorry if this is covered elsewhere,
but I sure don't see it. Can anyone enlighten me as to how to best go about
repairing this such that the locally queued messages waiting for processing
get just that and sent? Thx!
