iirc, qmail-remote doesn't actually look at control/locals

I think when it says that, it's because it assumes that if qmail-remote
is handling the message, that means it's not in control/locals

is the multilog-watch script sending messages via qmail-remote directly?
maybe it should use qmail-inject or qmail-queue instead?
