This sounds wonderful. Hopefully, serialmail won't get confused and try to deliver the message locally. We'll give it a try.

You shouldn't store them in '.qmail-default', but in a Maildir where .qmail-default directs them to (it would be unwise to store them in the file containing /the/ delivery instructions).
With this setup you can send the mails in this Maildir out via SMTP by using 'maildirsmtp' tool from 'serialmail' package[1].
This should be sufficient according to what you've written, IF you don't mind "performing some operations" on multiple files (as Maildir stores each mail in a new file) instead of one 'Mailbox' file.
