Thanks Mark. This is what I thought but I wanted an "official" 
confirmation. It seems that the 'wblist' table is in the case?

By the way, I didn't notice the 'quarantine' table was using an explicit 
composite primary key (between 'mail_id' and 'chunk_ind'). I really 
don't know how to make it work with django's orm... It smells like I'm 
going to rollback this work and finally wait for django to support 
composite keys.

Anybody here who has already try to achieve such a thing? :-)
