Correct for non-SMTP messages. If the MUA uses SMTP, you'll see
"handling incoming connection from ...".

Er, I think the plot has gone astray here. Or I'm confused. My
recollection was that nobody wanted to kill individual queue runners.
What the original poster wanted was to start a daemon with something
like -q15m but NOT -bd, and find a way of killing *that daemon*
conveniently. Its process should show up in exiwhat as a daemon, without
the "listening" stuff.
(BTW, your command would kill processes that are "delivering"...)
