I recently upgraded to the latest cvs code from the cvs code from a month earlier. I diff'd the config.xml's and since there were some additions in the new one, I decided to move my config changes to the new file. Oops, missed the Postmaster email address and I have notify postmaster turned on for spam and error processors. Next time there was a message sent to the error processor, it try to send to Postmaster@localhost. That generated an error, so it tried to send a message to Postmaster@localhost. And so on and so on and...... 4GB worth of errors in the deadletter table and 8GB worth of MySQL redo logs later, disk is full and everything's dead. Is there anything you guys can do to catch runaway's like this? I realize the difficulty in doing this since these messages aren't exactly able to be cross referenced.
