Just BTW, I have written my former message assuming that qmail-queue's
setuidness is changed to setgidness (with appropriate queue
permissions), and nothing else, that makes for accountability, and
chargeability (if there's such a work].  I somehow missed that the
original proposal would be to limit qmail-queue's to be executed only by
a few selected programs.  On the other hand, this latter solution seems
really awkward...  For a well administered system, the former is
sufficient without a rethink-at-large.
