Are the *.MGS files and the directory they are in owned by the same UID and
GID that the squish process is running under?  Does the UID squish is
running under have full access to the directory? 

Since Max/Squish are currently defaulting to 600 for permissions when
generating files, if you don't run everything under one UID, then when
kill/sent flag is present, Squish might not have permission to delete the
specific *.msg file.  Are you seeing any error message about this type of
problem, either on the screen or possibly in the log file?

 BS> A temp. solution could be to use a Squish messagebase for netmail.

 BS> I've tried to solve the problem, but i couldn't see it..

Did you consider what I've mentioned above?  Did the above suggestions help?
