The message looks pretty straightforward: the .qmail file has the execute bit
set and has a program delivery instruction in it, and qmail doesn't like that.
>From man dot-qmail:
If .qmail has the execute bit set, it must not contain any
program lines, mbox lines, or maildir lines. If qmail-
local sees any such lines, it will stop and indicate a
temporary failure.
Why does qmail object to the execute bit being set? I don't know. But if you
want to get rid of the error message, chmod -x the .qmail file.
