Policy service lookups are just fancy access tables, they behave in much
the same way as "check_mumble_access"...
Queue-ids logged with "smtpd[pid]: queue-id: client=..." can and will
simply disappear with no further logging from cleanup, qmgr, ... This
happens when the remote client aborts the transaction after "RCPT TO"
and before "DATA".
