Brian,

I am having trouble recreating this problem; a test doesn't fail that
way, and the code is pretty clear in that it should convert all deferred
deliveries into hard failures. Are you sure you used 4.52 and not 4.51?
(There was an mua_wrapper fix at 4.52.) If so, please can you send me
debug output for a failing delivery?

Regards,
Philip
