What I did once was to compile an identical copy of qmail but with
another location of the queue directory (however on the same physical
disk) and install it.
Compile a copy of qmail with big todo.
Stop all qmail services (also smtp)
Now, rm -r the queue directory of the identical copy and "mv" the queue
directory of the original qmail there.
Install qmail with big todo.
start qmail-send for the bigtodo and the copy.
start smtpd for bigtodo only.
With this procedure you get the queue "out of the way", have a new,
fresh one that will work (hopefully) fast and the old one will get
smaller with the time.
