The /var/qmail/queue directory tree is set up with the right permissions
when you are doing "make setup" from the qmail source directory.
E.g. the /var/qmail/queue/mess is OWNED BY (user:group) qmailq:qmail, which
may be your problem.
Did you compile the program ("make") on the same machine as the problems
appear on?
These userid:s: alias, qmaild, qmaill, qmailp, qmailq, qmailr, qmails
And these groupid:s: qmail, nofiles
ARE HARDCODED in some of the binaries during build.
You need a patched version of qmail to be able to move binaries around or
build on other machines or you need a predefined (100% sure of no conflicts)
set of userids and groupids OR you need to compile on the target machine, as
it states both in the manual and in "Life with qmail"
