Right now we are using Sophie 3.04rc2 with Sophos 3.79 on AIX. The crash
occured under Sophie 3.03 and Sophos versions prior to 3.79. The update
of the software will hopefully improve the stability of our mailing system.

We are freezing the messages, extract some data, inform our users about
the incident and deleting the messages from the queue. A perl script is
doing this every x minutes. We have to do it this way to not break a law
about "don't interfere in free communication" or similar. Our legal
department is pretty rigorous ;-)
