This means that mail for the ENVELOPE recipient addresss apsolarrain.com
already had a message HEADER line with:

    Delivered-To: apsolarrain.com

(actually, the comparisons of header label and recipient address
are case insensitive).

This means one of the following:

- The mail was already delivered SOMEWHERE, perhaps on a different
machine, to a recipient apsolarrain.com.

- Someone sent mail with 'Delivered-To: apsolarrain.com' even
though it was never delivered there. Reportedly some spam or virus
software does such things but I have not noticed this myself.
