Queue entries stuck in READY state

I recently managed to get my MX components hung up while attempting to update
the MX logicals to match my new registered domain name. I noticed there was a
problem when I discovered that my messages to  test the new address were not
being delivered. A STATUS command to MCP resulted in the error  'no such agent
processes are running',  while a show system did show that the MX processes
existed. Attempting to restart the MX components resulted in errors such as

	%MX-F-AGENTALRDY, agent MX_UUCP is already running
	-SYSTEM-F-IVBUFLEN, invalid buffer length

Restoring MX_logicals.dat to its original state solved the above
problem. However, messages posted during the time that MX was not
running correctly now appear in my queue in a READY state and have
for several days. Other messages posted after I got MX running again
are delivered correctly and promptly.

What steps should I perform to cause these pending entries to be 
delivered. I can find nothing in the trace logs that indicates any
MX component is attempting to process these entries.

I have attempted a QUEUE READY command to no affect.
 
Thanks for any helpful hints.


MCP>show version
MX version is is: MX V3.1C
MCP>que show /all/full
