did you concurrency-limit outgoing/incoming connections via
control/concurrency{remote,local} and tcpserver -c and -b or the
appropriate inetd.conf settings?

did you check:

z0:57:55:600:/queue/lock/:sendmutex:
z1024:56:55:644:/queue/lock/:tcpto:
p:57:55:622:/queue/lock/:trigger:

which is, ls-itarary speaking, or ls-wise, or simply wise:
(ls -l /var/qmail/queue/lock/)

total 1
-rw-------  1 qmails  qmail     0 May 13 13:59 sendmutex
-rw-r--r--  1 qmailr  qmail  1024 Jun  7 04:16 tcpto
prw--w--w-  1 qmails  qmail     0 Jun  7 08:53 trigger

qmail depends on these.
