So the queue exists in memory and on disk?

Very cool. As I think more about this, maybe it should be even more
general purpose -- not only handling failure, but also success (or a
separate one for each case). This way actions can be taken as the result
of a successful delivery, not just as the result of a failed delivery.
Again, I'm new to James, so maybe there is already some sort of
mechanism to cause an action to happen upon success?
