It's interesting that this comes up; I was just looking in my spool,
and I have a file from a local user to a local user, sent by the
webmail client, and there's no record in the log of even an attempt
to deliver it. The server doesn't appear to have a mechanism to
search for abandoned files, either.

What spammers typically do is connect to the SMTP server, flood
their data to SMTP then close the connection after sending the "."
(they don't wait for the 250 OK from SMTPD). Since STMPD can not
give the client a 250 OK the message has not been accepted for
delivery and is not delivered (a proper client will resend the
message later since it didn't get the 250 OK). In this case it is
left in the spool as a T and D file. We are looking into why SMTPD
does not clean up the T and D file.
