The "qmgr: removed" message is logged once all the recipients of a
message that has been accepted into the queue are delivered or bounced.
This is often close in time to the "smtpd: disconnect" message, but can
occur long after or some time before if the client does not disconnect
quickly enough after the message is accepted.

This message never entered the queue, the client sent "QUIT" without
sending any data. The nascent queue file was deleted by cleanup(8),
when smtpd(8) abandoned the transaction.
