Yes, I realize that. The problem, as it turns out, is that most mail is
sent to a host alias address, which I improperly configured friday
afternoon. This caused messages sent within the domain not to be able to be
sent or received. Thus, the D files piled up.
What I need to do now is deliver the piled up messages to accounts. There
are no Q files for them, so what do I do? Manually send them?
