Queen takes on e5 and checkmate

Qxe5 is not mate in 1. Black plays Be6.

I believe it's 1.Qa3# because of the pin of the Queen by the Rook on e1, unless I'm missing something.

Just about any move has 1 response to it except Qa3:

1.dxc8=Q+/1.dxc8=R+ allows 1...Bb7

1.dxc8=N+ allows 1...Ke8

1.Nc6+ allows 1...Kf6

1.Qg5+ Black can take with the Q on c1

1.Bg5+ opens up f8 for the King

1.d8=Q is illegal because the Bishop puts the White King in check.

dxc8=Q is mate

Another mate in one puzzle for you guys.

How many mate in 1s can you guys find and can you find the only non-mate in 1 move.
