Unlimited retry problem over maxRetries!

Hi all, 


I'm testing james with using OutlookExpress. 
Now I am testing undelivered email. 
But I have two problems. 

test enviroment 
delaytime = 60000 (about 1 minute) 
maxRetries = 2 

testcase 1: 
test data: To: xxx@yyy.ccc 
process : james has made 3 email as follow (stream and object each). 
  -first mail: original email 
  -second mail: from Postmaster to sender 
  -third mail: from Postmaster to Postmaster 
result : 
   In outgoing directory, first mail was built. 
   After first mail was deleted, second mail was built. 
   After second mail was deleted in outgoing directory, 
   third mail was built in 'error' directory. 
   I think this is normal output of James. 
   But I have a problem. 
problem: When does email in 'error' be deleted? 

testcase 2: 
test data: To: steelsca@yahoo.ca (this is normal type, but my server is blocked from outside.So although james try to deliver, it can't do that) 
process : james make only 1 email(stream and object each). 
   - Stream email's size is changed into '0', instead of making second mail in   'testcase 1' 
   - And james retries to delivery unlimitedly 
result(problem) : 
There is no change after stream email size being changed into '0'. 
Although I fix maxRetries to '2', james retries again and again. 

What I want know: 
1.When and How can I delete email in 'error'(test case 1) 
2.After maximum retry, it must be deleted with processing like test case1. (test case 2) 

How can I do that? please help me. 

Thanks,

Regards,

 

David
