using check_email_loop.pl. I have it running, ver 1.1, and it works great for a
while, but then I start getting warnings about lost e-mails. I never seem
to have a problem with pending e-mails.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

are not queued on the internal server. I've confirmed that spam filters
are not catching the items.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
