Better to solve the problem of flaky email service than waste your time
trying to "break" the auto-delete processing which is doing its job.
Typical reasons for "flaky"
1) multiple MX hosts, one of which is not configured correctly or should
not be there in the first place
2) out of synch DNS "MX" and "A" records across the multiple
authoritative name servers
3) false-positive anti-spam
4) user mail box problem
5) system MTA problems
6) esoteric routing table and/or router code problems
Suggest that the user switch to DIGEST (assuming you have a (daily)
digest defined) -- that way it will be clearer when they don't get all of
their list distributions.
