I have never been involved in that machine (before my time), but in fencepost's /com/mailer/aliases, the following comment/rule can be found, which indicated that it once was operational: | # This is for users of the Hurd box called 'stampede'. 20020101 - jbailey | stampede-users: jbailey, marcus, t...@becket.net, rol...@frob.com, gray Now, this is long ago, and if you GNU folks can't locate the machine's hardware anymore, I would assume that it is safe to simply discard both the DNS entry and the mail forwarding rule.
