But you didn't show the log entry that corresponds to this message. As
a consultant with 8 years experience you have probably deduced that
*all* messages inserted into the queue create a "new msg" log
entry. Where is it?

How long does the system keep the logs for? Has it been rolled off by,

We want all the log entries associated with the message. If your log
system has rolled them off, then stop the log rolling so you can
retain all the information. Then pick an example that shows us the
full life-cycle of the message and how it exceeds queuelifetime after
the last delivery attempt.
It may simply be that the delivery program is not exiting. It's only
at the point that qmail-send looks at queuelifetime.
