It's safe to kill them. Certainly anything that is older than
24 hours is likely to be safe to kill.
It is possible that your kill comes after the 250 OK is sent
from the other end, but before qmail-smtpd communicates that
to qmail-send, but the probability is lower as you leave the
old qmail-smtpd running longer.
