I found the new 2.99.20 scheduler always reschedule those undelivered smtp
mail in 1m interval that neglecting any value in "scheduler.conf" interval
and retries attribute.   Does it relate to your current fix ?

Seems the timeout problem reported before has already fixed.  However, 
another problem arise.  Still require much polishing before new scheduler
can be usable ??
