Description

Currently, mail repository reprocessing is unbounded. This is a pain as for instance a bug can cause processing to always fail. each failure will generate a bounce. combined with auto-reprocessing this set things up for flooding.

Proposition: count reprocessing:

curl -XPATCH 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/mailRepositories/var%2Fmail%2Ferror/mails?action=reprocess&processor=root&limit=5&maxRetries=5'

• maxRetries being an option int (defaults to unlimited). maxRetries filtering happens first then limit.
