That in itself is enlightening: the message being referred to is dropped
at this point since it's an error message which in itself is generating
an error due to retry times being exceeded.
You may have the following option set as follows:
ignore_bounce_errors_after = 0s
(or similar); this means that bounces which themselves generate an error
will be discarded straight away.
Alternatively you have it set to a longer duration, but you're not
showing the full list of log entries for the messages.
In a clamshell, anything listed as "error ignored" has been removed from
the queue.
You probably need to work out *why* you're getting these messages on the
queue in the first place. I'd hazard a guess that they're backscatter
from an accept-and-bounce system myself, and you'd need to stop doing
that.
