This won't work for me, as mails to be relayed also enter from the 
external queue (the server acts as a backup MX for several domains). 
The real solution would be to move the relay server to another, but 
this would involve modifying a number of DNS records, some of which I 
don't have control over. Hence, it is inconvenient to do at the moment.

Actually, this hasn't happened here since a *very* long time (at least 
one year), hence I consider the problem to be irrelevant. If it does 
reappear, I'll reconsider my position.

Well, I just did the reverse (removing all hashing) as in the end, 
hashed queues aren't that useful (we haven't got any performance 
problems) and are more of a pain to work with than anything else.

Sure, but I'm reluctant to radically change the setup as it served me 
well for a long time now. « Never touch a working system », 
remember ? :-)
