You configured a domainlist router to send the message to
gateway.this.domain.com. When it tried to look up the IP address for
that domain, the lookup failed with a permanent error. As this is a
manual routing, this is a considered to be a serious error which the
postmaster needs to know about (maybe you have a typo in your file), and
there is little point in keeping on trying. So it freezes the message.

1. Don't set up routes to non-existent hosts.
2. If you must set up routes to non-existent hosts, and don't want
freezing, set the host_find_failed option on the router to do something
else.
