Thanks for the responses. These are good and valid suggestions. Nagging at the 
back of my mind though is the possibility that another set of circumstances 
may arise to cause a similar issue via a different mechanism.

As well as implementing your suggestions, I'd also like to fix the issue if 
possible technically whilst I can repeat the behaviour and test it. Since 
rtbouncehandler appears to look through the message for ticket numbers I'm 
guessing it may be the technical solution I'm looking for.

Can someone confirm this?

Kind regards,

Geoff
