If I remember right, preprocessing (which is done by qmail-queue)
involves determining whether a message is local or remote.

This happens if you change /var/qmail/control/locals so that the
notion of what's local is changed. Other than that I can't see how
else it can happen.

See INTERNALS in the qmail distribution.
