Well, you need to take each pair of Cn and Dn files out of the msgs directory, and delete everything in msgq. Rename each pair so that 'n' is the inode number of the C file. It's entirely possible that there might be another C/D pair that happens to use the same inode name (and their real inode number is something different), so you have some logistical details to work out. Then move everything -- without changing the inodes -- into the highest numbered subdirectory in tmp, then restart.
So the msgq file contains message in the middle of the submission process? Will
No, messages received, but not delivered.
the user likely have received an OK on their SMTP session while messages are still in this state? Or do they receive that response after the messages have been completely submitted and moved to msgs?
The OK response is received after the message is installed in tmp. Then, it is moved to msgq and msgs, where it stays until it's fully delivered.
