  That is strange..  which means this is an old problem which is just
  now surfacing in the system.

  The diagnostics reports are carrying (more recently) local spoolid of
  the message file so that in this kind of things could be checked from
  the syslog data.  Could this be a case where the control file is left
  into the system after successfull delivery ?
  (Name has been originally "X-Spool-ID:", latter  "Local-Spool-ID:")

  Why the delivery would not be marked to the control file, thus blocking
  it away, I don't know..

Reporting-MTA: dns; nic
Arrival-Date: Wed, 7 Jun 2000 11:46:23 +0300
Local-Spool-ID: S11240AbQFGIqX

  The ID associated syslogged data might give us some clue to this.
