Package: enemies-of-carlotta
Version: 1.2.4-1
Severity: normal

This report is just a reminder of the problem I reported in summer at
http://liw.iki.fi/lists/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg00331.html .

There seem to be two race conditions here.  In both cases, assume a
recipient that is permanently undeliverable.

  - if the list gets at least one mail per week, then timestamp-bounced
    will eternally be newer than a week, since it is updated at every
    bounce
      ==> no probing for busy lists

  - if the list gets a regular bounce between the sending of the probe
    and the bouncing of the probe (it's not always even nearly
    instantaneous), then the probe bounce gets ignored
      ==> probe gets ignored if it's a bad day

  - I suppose that getting a regular bounce between having received the
    probe bounce and the next cleaning woman run would also be
    problematical

Perhaps ignoring regular bounces for recipients in the states bounced,
probed and probebounced would fix these?
