I don't normally reply here, but since noone else has.... :)

I have a qmail-check script that runs qmail-qstat and qmail-qread and
mails it to me. It's always reported one more mail in the queue than was
actually there. For years I thought it was just because I opened the
pipe to qmail-inject before running the other programs. I just never
looked back to see.

Looking back now, that's not the case. While I have have no idea why
qmail-qstat reports one more than actual, I don't find it any sort of
bother. I've never experienced any sort of woe due to it, nor do I
expect to.
