Nope.  If you have so configured it, email gets a qmail-queue permfail
response.  Whatever the calling program does with that is its
responsibility.

What do you mean by "disabling"?  If qmail-dk is disabled, then you're
no longer running it, so how can software which isn't running drop mail?

Errr, it's supposed to.  Do you have a test case for which it fails?

Nope.  If you have software which is munging the message ... fix it.
But forwards and backup mx mail don't cause it to fail.
