Queue ids are assigned (by default) when the first "rcpt to:" command is
accepted (optionally, when the "mail from:" command is accepted).
The message enters the queue when the body is accepted (2XX response to
"." or final "BDAT 0").
Thus a nascent queue file might be deleted (by cleanup(8)) without ever
entering the queue. The *incomplete* queue file is deleted without the
queue manager ever becoming aware of its existence.
