The mail will not be queued. There will be a "temporary delivery error" at the end of the transaction.
Yes and no. If you include multiple delivery plugins, qpsmtpd will try each in turn (unless it gets a DENY answer), so you *could* attempt an inline SMTP delivery and then fallback to another method which could be a queue for later delivery.
For example, I use qmqp (qmail queue protocol) as my primary delivery method, but if the main server is down, I can queue the message for later delivery via qmail-queue. NOTE that I only permit valid e-mail addresses (via a plugin I wrote that uses the finger protocol), so I never accept mail for delivery that I won't actually deliver.
