That's dovecot's log, not qmail's.

You are logging to stderr, in the delivery case that means qmail-local's
output. This is somewhere in a place like /var/qmal/logs/qmail/current
and looks similar to

@4000000051f793e218f78c54 delivery 847552: success: lda(xxxxxxxx):_Info:_msgid=<20130730102215.ECB48809E9 at carlos.noc.ruhr-uni-bochum.de>:_saved_mail_to_NOC-Order/did_0+0+1/
