Hmm, well if it puts messages in there then it looks as if I have lost a
lot of messages. Each file is 0 bytes in length and there are about 10000
of them. Probably no way I can recover these... There were messages in
/var/log/mail about qmail-queue not being able to write them. I wonder if
it was unable to write them to queue/pid as well. At any rate, the problem
was that the "trigger" pipe was not there. After I recreated that with
mkfifo all seemed to return to normal. So, what is the purpose of the
named pipe?
