I would like to hear how this situation turns out, but I agree that the
message in question was probably distributed before that system was taken
off its network. If it wasn't distributed, it opens up the question of why
because in my experience, once Listserv gets a message to be distributed
to a list, it usually processes within a few seconds at most and than out
it goes via the smtp port.
