One frequently-proposed (and possibly implemented) solution for such
time-critical email is to avoid queuing the message in the first place.
Instead, you call qmail-remote directly with your message. If it succeeds,
you know immediately that the message reached the MX you pointed it at.
If it fails -- then you can queue it, if you think it might still get there
before the information is obsolete.
