    After I post a letter, sometimes I see strange messages in response
    to the UNIX command "mailq."
    For example:
     (Deferred: Host Name Lookup Failure)
     (Deferred: Connection timed out during user open with Shemp.C)

    What do these messages mean?  Does their presence have any bearing on 
    whether the mail will eventually reach its intended recipient?  Are there
    any manauls or papers documenting these and other mail messages?
