I am coming a bit late on this, however, I believe that qmail is doing 
the appropriate thing.  In the draft, it merely states that it must be 
received and parsed, which I believe is being done.  It is being parsed 
enough to determine that it is invalid.  I don't believe that the 
author meant that receive == queued so it is being parsed as per the 
draft and then rejected because it the receiving email is 
non-conformant.
