Sorry, but we're not *THAT* fast; we don't normally turn messages around
in three and a half hours!!  I've had a horrendous mail load otherwise I
would have gotten to this earlier.

I wouldn't worry about it.  routed may be trying to stomp on some routes
that are added just following it.  If you don't need routed then disable
it in /etc/rc.conf and those messages will go away.
