A few things could be happening, but first, this isn't really the right way to
get messages into the system. The lmtp runner isn't a queue runner, meaning
it does not wake up periodically to scan files in var/queue/lmtp. This runner
is really just a daemon process. The fact that it creates such a directory is
a bug, which I've now filed (LP: 1095422).
If you really want to inject messages into the system by way of the LMTP
runner, use Python's smtplib module and connect to the running daemon (started
by `bin/mailman start`) with an smtplib.LMTP() instance.
Even so, I injected two copies of the following test message, and I ended up
with two .pck files in var/queue/lmtp as expected. Then the
get_queue_messages('lmtp') dequeued them both and returned a length-2 list of
items.
Don't forget you can always just `ls -lR var/queue` to see what's actually
there.
Cheers,
