Don't blame Verizon: it's our fault. We configured the mail server on einstein.phys.uwm.edu to only SEND mail, not to RECEIVE it. Turns out that this violates internet mail standards, and so some ISPs such as Verizon were blocking our mail. When we fixed this by enabled RECEIVE we suddenly freed up all of those queued mail messages.

My apologies: hitting the 'delete' key 75 times is no fun.
