Yes it does -- that's what section 2.8.2.1 is all about. It just signals
supervise to start/stop qmail, instead of spawning/killing the service
itself like traditional bootscripts.

The script actually initiates an orderly termination of qmail on a
"shutdown" command, rather than waiting for shutdown to SIGTERM all
processes. I haven't seen what happens if qmail hangs around long
enough to get a SIGKILL from shutdown -- anyone know what the worst-case
scenario is?
