And indeed not doing the -ALRM reduces this risk.
Since qmail always tries one last time before bouncing you know that
evrything already in the home queue will be attempted one more time so
unless there is some urgency, I'd skip the -ALRM altogether and let
the mails come across in the normal course of qmail processing.
