Use touch(1) to make the info file for the message old enough for the message
to bounce.
For example, if the info file for the message is
/var/qmail/queue/info/1/146066, do this:
# touch -t 01010000 /var/qmail/queue/info/1/146066
qmail will try to deliver the message one more time, and if it's still
undeliverable qmail will decide it's too old and bounce it.
