Thanks for the reply. We're actually on 4.62.
Is this the fix you're referring to:
"PH/19 Change 4.64/PH/36 introduced a bug: when
address_retry_include_sender
was true (the default) a successful delivery failed to delete
the retry
item, thus causing premature timeout of the address. The bug is
now
fixed."

)
If so that shouldn't affect us (wrong version and we don't set that
option), although I suspect we should upgrade anyway.
thanks,
Paul
