Postfix logs help you know what happened to a particular message. Look

see what postfix does with it. No need to wonder where they went.

A lot of the send only hosts have only an IP (not in DNS)
Look in the logs for the IP to find associated QUEUEIDs.

Look in the logs for other entries with that same QUEUEID 5BE9956799 to
see other information associated with that transaction.

All have the same invalid recipient..
Almost looks like it is "ping-ponging" back and forth between the
*master-relay* and my relay..
I have seen this invalid recipient on the old Sendmail box.. and
it ended up in my queue then expires.. (the sender host has been out of
the office when I tried to contact them)
so it looks like I have something not right..
there is nothing in mailq..
