In my personal case the mail server i'm working on is part of a complex 
system where mail delivery is of primary importance and the system must 
know if a message is deferred and the reason why.

By analizing xmail log files is possible to discovery if a message has 
not been sent, then, by looking for the frozen message, one can know 
that the message has bounced and why. If it is just deferred, there is 
no frozen message and the only way to know why is to look for the 
rsnd/slog pair in the spool tree.

Not that this is a big problem, in fact I was able to write a small 
software to accomplish this, but I think that, conceptually, frozen and 
deferred message are both problems that a system may want to be informed 
about and new admin commands would make xmail more internally coherent.

Of course this is just my opinion, maybe I'm the only one in the world 
with such needs :-)
