If you use maildirs, try this:
cd $USER_HOME
chmod +t .
# safe editing
mv Maildir LOCKED.Maildir
mv .qmail LOCKED.qmail
echo './LOCKED.Maildir/' > .qmail
# incoming messages will be delivered
maildirmake Maildir
cp $MyStandardCallSupportMessage \
Maildir/new/`perl -e 'printf "%d",time'`.`uname -n`
# first POP3 connection get the standard "expired - call support" message
chown -R $USER_UID .qmail Maildir
chgrp -R $USER_GID .qmail Maildir
chmod -t .
# end of editing
