I don't think that someone tries to stop you with tests of smtpd like '# smtpctl show queue' or '# ls -l /var/spool/smtpd/queue' with/without softupdates and check outputs and e-mails in queue. Eg. I wasn't sure if it's safe to remove messages from queue in case that my smtpd is set onfly for local delivery. I asked and I received some recommendations. I used them, but first I test to just simply remove them directly and everything was ok.
You can update my answer : Gilles Chehade and Jacek Masiulaniec have all of this in their minds so there is a very low chance that they forgot about proper queueing or saving messages to disk.
