Off the cuff, won't that moving around create problems with the
inode->filename mapping?
Once that's resolved, maybe the reason the mails didn't go out
was the trigger? You should have
# ls -lA ${QMAIL}/queue/lock/
-rw------- 1 qmails qmail 0 Mar 19 1998 sendmutex
-rw-r--r-- 1 qmailr qmail 1024 Jul 13 11:03 tcpto
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Jul 21 15:32 trigger|
The special file there has an annoying habit of being corrupted
(not that it's ever happened to me, but it seems to be a
recurrent problem on this list).
IMO, the qmail queue is very fragile when people with root start
poking around in it (and not otherwise).
