Postfix queue files MUST be written by Postfix. You can't put
non-Postfix files there.
The only supported interfaces to get a message into the queue are
SMTP, QMQP, or the /usr/sbin/sendmail command line.
For example, you can use the Postfix sendmail command:
/usr/sbin/sendmail -i -f sender recipient < inputfile
where inputfile contains RFC2822-formatted text (including MIME).
