Thanks for the details, Robert.
One question remains: currently, the emails sent by qa to qa-alert are
rejected. So ML's subscribers don't receive the alerts. Consequently,
the qa's maildir is full of "non-delivery notifications". That might
be the wished behaviour because thus we can check if the notifications
are sent or not without boring the users.
If this behaviour is not intentional, I suggest to simply add qa in
the discard list (of the qa-alert ML). That will reduce the activity
of postfix.
