It means that "s" is an alias for a list of other addresses, and all of
them have now been delivered.

You don't show the ""relayrouter" router, which is the one that actually
handles the deliveries (see your log line). My GUESS, from the name of
the router, is that it is sending everything to a smart host. If the
smart host gets lost (no route to host) then nothing can be delivered...

If this is not the case, try a delivery with debugging enabled to see
what is going on.
