Bruce: Russ Allbery's mjinject contains perl code for exactly
that operation (or easily modified for that). Hmmm... But you're
not working in perl, are you?

Michael,
1) qmail-queue is a program with the job of actually writing a message
into the "qmaill queue" which is a directory and file structure for
safely storing mail messages. They are two different things.
The "queue" was designed in a way which necessitates the exclusive
use of a single qmail system. Sorry.
2) It's not impossible to cluster servers to balance the "load."
First you have to define whether it's the incoming or outgoing
message load which you have to balance. Second, you have to realize
that none of the solutions which will help you solve your problem
will involve sharing a "queue" between multiple instanciations of
qmail. Each instance will have its own queue.
