That is true, However I changed the forwarding to another system which
doesn't do resolveable name checks and yet the messages are continuing
to go the old system. (I changed /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster) and
restarted qmail. Is this appropiate ?

What are the alternatives to clear these messages from the queue

Also, Do people see the benifit in doing resolvable name checks. Doesn't
it hurt in the above scenario

Thanks, Yusuf
