I know the following isn't a really nice solution, but if you need to
"stabilize" your system fast, you could disable the code that does duplicate
delivery checking. I remember it's in one C file, and it's fairly easy to do
(just delete or comment out a few dozen lines). Maybe there's even a config
option for this now?
I repeat, this isn't good for two reasons:
- the bug won't be tracked down this way (but bug-hunting shouldn't really be
done on production systems anyway)
- the duplicate delivery-check feature will be absent of the server
(I think you can live with this.)
So is this elegant? No! But it _will_ work...
