	yes, by shutting down the scheduler, editing all those
	transport specification files with recipient addresses
	("r "-lines) pointing to wrong location into what proper
	routing result would have been -- or (I think), just
	rewriting original:
		r     smtp target.address original@target.address 1234
	into:
		r     smtp [127.0.0.1] original@target.address 1234
	That is, changeing the "host" component to be IP literal
	address:  [127.0.0.1]  (using local hostNAME is not advisable,
	as then the system will stop due to MX recognition..)

	After that, restart the scheduler.

	Currently there is no way to command the scheduler to move
	a message from its queue back to the routing phase.
	That is one more thing for 3.X series.
