[antispam-f] Deferred message problem

I've noticed on a few occasions recently than when a large message is 
deferred on a rule (length > 2MB) then until it is processed 
subsequent messages are also deferred for no good reason (length about 
7kB). There are no other defer rules.

This is an example of what is happening:

Some spam messages are correctly deleted.
Then some time later:

Message 1 deferred on rule 1:
Process Marked Message
UIDL: UID149578-1168720018
From: Colin Ward <colin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: 50th Anniversary


*** message 1 was deferred earlier. Rule 1 is
    DEFER  Length   > 2000000
    message 2 now gets deferred on the same rule, but
    !AntiSpam believes it is marked and defers it.
    message 2 should be accepted on rule 26


Message 2 deferred on rule 1:
Process Marked Message
UIDL: UID149580-1168720018
From: "marjen146" <Margaret_clements146@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [windsor-maidenhead-freecycle] Offered: Rolls of party 
streamers - Cox Green

< +OK Bye-bye.

Other messages are also deferred so that eventually I had to accept 9 
marked messages of which only one was correctly deferred.
