I may have stumbled upon the solution myself:
Although the incoming process is queue_only
somehow a queuerunner cron job sneeked in (maybe through a software update)
which runs "8,23,38... *".
I removed it and will keep watching, but I think that'll fix it.

One more question though:

In a router with
> self = defer
is the additional information necessary for syntactic reasons
(like the smarthost address in a domainlist router)
actually relevant? I'm using e.g.

defer_router:
driver = domainlist
self = defer
route_list = * 127.0.0.1 byname
no_verify

Should I put a non-local address in route_list or is it okay like this?

Thanks and regards
