Why are these messages being deferred? If it's regular mail (deferrals due
to greylisting, the target MX being unreachable just now etc. etc.) and
just results from the huge influx of new messages from your incoming queue,
you can probably just ignore it for now and wait for the problem to be
dealt with in the normal way.

Normally, mailq gives you this information, but with the queue sizes you
have I've got no idea about how fast this is. Else you can look at some of
the messages with postcat.

Perhaps because true hackers don't like to implement stupid license
