Local Retries...

["David L. Potter" <potter@chebucto.ns.ca>]

Even though we set retries (and selected other parameters) in 
scheduler.conf to:

local/*
        interval=60m
        expiry=3d
        retries="12 12 12 12 12 12"
        skew=1

It appears as if every time a new message comes in the counter starts 
over again for all messages being held. Is this broken/going to be 
fixed, are we missing something obvious here or are we just kidding 
ourselves thinking that we can actually control the number of retries?
