Maybe I can beat Charles Marcus to the punch and recommend you upgrade
to the latest version, otherwise you'll run into bugs that have already
been fixed.

Is there any logs from deliver?  If not, look at this page to configure logging

That's your best chance at finding out the problem.

I don't have virtual users, so I can't venture to say whether this
is part of the problem.  I know I had to fiddle with the mailer flags
(you have "DFMPhnu9") to get my setup working, but I don't remember
what I did or why.  Try adding the "S" flag and see if that helps.
