Yes. And the file in question is owned by qmails not qmailq in a
directory writable only by qmails.

If open fails to report an error, this should become obvious in
write(). The fstat() info is not used, but if only qmails can create a
symlink and qmail-send runs as qmails, we're back to the original
question: Why is the fstat() there?
