should be fixed - that was caused by both a config thinko on my side
during an upgrade _AND_ the fact that I forgot to remove the thinko
after the upgrade.

It basically caused mails from auxiliary^non-primary mail systems
systems (like gitmaster) to get put in the queue immediately (instead of
being delivered) and only deliver on the next queue run(which in this
case runs on a 300s/5m schedule)...
