Weird.

I can't imagine why it wouldn't be able to create a qf file if it managed to
create the df file.

Is there any way (perhaps by looking at the content of some of the df files,
which are simply the bodies of the emails without the headers) of finding out
of these emails did in fact get delivered, but there was then a problem
deleting the df file afterwards?

One way of looking at the problem is:
if you don't have the qf file, then you have no idea who the email was from,
or who it was to, so you may as well delete the df file, because you can't do
anything with it...

Nothing!?   No successful delivery, no problem, no "queued" message?

Weirder...
