That's a lie. I really doubt that the original message had a
"Sent:" field.

That just says that delivery is defered. Nothing about the message being
frozen.

It looks like you had a temporary resolver/DNS problem, and for a time
could not resolve gateway.this.domain.com. It should have gone out on the
next queue run.

Are you sure that it was frozen, and not just deferred?
