You shouldn't store them in '.qmail-default', but in a Maildir where
.qmail-default directs them to (it would be unwise to store them in
the file containing /the/ delivery instructions).

With this setup you can send the mails in this Maildir out via SMTP by
using 'maildirsmtp' tool from 'serialmail' package[1].

This should be sufficient according to what you've written, IF you
don't mind "performing some operations" on multiple files (as Maildir
stores each mail in a new file) instead of one 'Mailbox' file.
