The mess822-QMAILQUEUE patch

This is not the QMAILQUEUE patch by Bruce Guenter that’s included in netqmail. When you want qmail-smtpd(8), for instance, to be able to modify or reject incoming messages by inserting a wrapper around qmail-queue(8), the QMAILQUEUE patch makes that easier.

The mess822-QMAILQUEUE patch is the exact same idea (and code), but for mess822.
