Usually when postfix gets far enough along in a transaction it creates a queue ID, then at the end around disconnect it logs removing from queue.

postfix/smtpd[6147]: 4Gg1J52gV6z4l3g5: client=camomile.cloud9.net[168.100.1.3]
  ...
  postfix/qmgr[2409]: 4Gg1J52gV6z4l3g5: removed

And 99% of the time its 'removed' at the end of the session. However on occasion i see it creates a queue ID but never logs that it was removed.

postfix/smtpd[4393]: connect from sender47-us-east-1-p.emailage.com[34.232.12.47] postfix/smtpd[4393]: 4GfyJD2xWjz4l3g5: client=sender47-us-east-1-p.emailage.com[34.232.12.47] postfix/smtpd[4393]: disconnect from sender47-us-east-1-p.emailage.com[34.232.12.47] helo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 quit=1 commands=4

I checked mailq to see if it was stuck in queue and the queue is empty. What is happening in these cases as to why it doesn't log a 'removed'?
