those messages all appear to be in a done state with no
recipients remaining. shouldn't qmgr just discard them
instead of attempting delivery? very odd.
i've moved them out of maildrop.
mail_version = Snapshot-20010808
i don't think there's any configuration variable that can
affect this particular bit of qmgr logic so i'm omitting
postconf -n.
