[torqueusers] Email spam from maui/torque

[David Jackson]

Chris,

  There are two efforts being made to address this.  First, we are
rolling in some facilities used in Moab to provide exponential back-off
of failed cancel job requests in Maui.  This should minimize the amount
of mail sent.

  Secondly, in TORQUE, a number of sites are working to allow pbs_server
to force a job cancel and fix the original problem.  We hope to see
these features rolled in in the next few months.
