mqueue and mqueue.in have more files than necessary ... should I worry?

[Julian Field]

It would be better if you either did a "restart" instead of a "start" or 
else significantly increased the length of time between the stop and the 
start. It really can take MailScanner 20 or 30 seconds to properly shut 
down, due to all the cleanup that happens when you close it down.
