Are you sure this is what you want to do, on the same computer? I'm not even
sure what the effect would be of running 2 qmail installations in parallel,
who knows which qmail would run faster. This might have no effect at all,
for example.
Or your old messages might be processed very slowly.
Oh well. The easiest way to fix this would probably be to do a second qmail
install in another directory (/var/qmail2), and then move your queue.1 over
there. I would advice to then run one of the several 'fix queue' scripts.
Take care not to start a tcpserver for the second qmail, it just needs to
send.
