That's why qmailanalog wants to write to an fd (I think 5) and read
from another (I think 6). It saves state of all uncompleted messages
to this fd, and expects this saved state to be passed to it on this
other fd.
I probably have the fd numbers wrong, but the drift is that
qmailanalog can do this just fine without losing *any* messages.
