The queue resides on disk
It is a repository for all messages that have not yet been delivered
qmail-queue puts a new message in the queue and pulls a trigger
This wakes up qmail-send, the primary component
qmail-send examines the message for addresses
For remote deliveries, it invokes qmail-rspawn, which runs qmail-remote
For local deliveries, it invokes qmail-lspawn, which runs qmail-local
When a message is fully delivered, it invokes qmail-clean to remove it from the queue
