Use of "localhost_number" can help here (but only if you set it in 
advance).  Useful if you have a farm of functionally similar servers, give 
each its own localhost_number and it will be used in the message id (and 
hence in the queue filenames) making them unique per-server.  You can then 
safely move a queue from one machine to the next (perhaps to take it out 
of service).

Limited to 16 values though.
