I didn't take me that long to do something stupid!
I got the same messages... and wondered the same stuff. I deleted the three
files and even restarted all of the qmail daemons a few times.
It eventually went away.
I think the maximum lifetime of message in the queue is a week, so if it's
still bugging you after a week, write another message to the list.
BTW, the correct way to remove a message from the queue (from reading up on
this after the fact) is to kill qmail then delete it, or use one of the
queue management programs available from www.qmail.org
