MySQL Has Gone away

[stefaandk]

My forum has continuously started to generate this particular error:
Invalid SQL:

UPDATE TOGvB_datastore SET
data = data - 10,
data = IF(data < 0, 0, data)
WHERE title = 'mailqueue';

It's ALWAYS this mailqueue error!

MySQL server has gone away

This is a server issue and you should contact your host about this.

Not 100% sure yet but I believe i caused the problem myself by adding -f to the settings in email. Reason I did this is that I can't seem to get my bounced returned but this seems to have been generating this problem, haven't had it since I reverted it.

Like I said I'm not totally convinced yet but I wanted to at least mention it here from a closure point of view.
