unforwarded

Left at origin

Unforwarded describes mail or messages that were not sent onward to a new address or recipient.

A letter marked unforwarded stays at the original destination rather than following someone who has moved: The package sat unforwarded at her old apartment for weeks.

The term appears most often in postal and email contexts.
