Bug Description

When an email fails, it remains in email queue and it seems like Eventum try to re-send this e-mails, if the e-mail is an "no-recipient found" it will never achieve a recipient and this will fail forever, the problem is that this behavior make the error log file increases without control and there is no method to stop these emails but update the status of queued email from "failed" to "sent" via SQL update Query.

you can run such query to mark them not to be sent:

mysql> UPDATE eventum_mail_queue SET maq_status='broken' WHERE maq_status='error';
Query OK, 20 ROWS affected (0.01 sec)
ROWS matched: 20 Changed: 20 Warnings: 0

this way they will not be retried.
