After reading this excerpt from Dan's page:
qmail: a replacement for sendmail
http://pobox.com/~djb/qmail.html
[...] Other MTAs offer a spectrum of delivery modes, from
fast+unsafe to slow+queued. qmail-send is instantly triggered
by new items in the queue, so the qmail system has just one
delivery mode: fast+queued. [...]
I concluded that `q' referred to `queue'
