No it isn't. qmail-queue puts only the local recipient addresses in
/var/qmail/queue/local/*/*. The message itself is placed in
/var/qmail/queue/mess/*/*.

Eric's problem is that the message is being placed in
/var/qmail/queue/local/*/* rather than just the local recipient
addresses.

I think his qmail install is severely corrupted.
