Yes. But that was not the point.
The only reason to do a postfix cluster is to deliver locally queued mail after 
a failover. And if the lockes are not removed cleanly during a crash or 
STONITH of one machine then you will have problems requeueing the mail after a 
failover of the postfix instances.
