indeed, it's set to 0s

Is there any way to remedy this? I realize the obvious answer is "fix
the routing error", but that's not really an option - we have clients who
generate mails to invalid addresses from time to time, that's not a
symptom I am able to fix. This constant freezing and thawing is rather
aggravating, especially since I took advantage of the freeze_tell option.
