Yes, "postfix reload" runs "postsuper", which will fix-up the names of
files. To avoid this, you'd have to do that yourself, before marking the
file mode 0700. The first 5 bytes are a microsecond timer measured just
after the created file's inode is obtained via lstat(2) and before it
is renamed to:
<hex-of-usec-time><hex-of-inode-number>
Getting all of this right is done by sendmail/postdrop.

Running "postsuper -s" causes a race, and is too expensive. Why are you
manually creating queue-files again?
