	No, although I have also encountered these hotmail.com jams.

	In the CVS there are some attempts at solving it.
	To a large extent I gave up at figuring it out, and
	made a kludge into the scheduler to burst the "log-jamm"
	by closing the stuck transport agent after 1 hour delay
	at the FeedAge meter when the OverFed count is 0.
