See the man page for courier... You removed the user from the
"backscatter blacklist". If courier accepts a message for a user, and
then can not deliver the message, it stops accepting mail for that user,
since the mail would bounce anyway. You haven't necessarily fixed the
problem by clearing that blacklist entry. The message that couldn't be
delivered is probably still in your queue, and when courier tries to
deliver it again, the user will probably end up back in the blacklist.

The queue isn't affected.

Check the logs, and look for messages that weren't successfully delivered.
