We run the configs and the binaries on a filer, delivering to a different
mount point. The way that we did it (Because we didn't start off in this
configuration) was to build qmail, mount the source directory on each box,
do a make setup check and then to mount the binaries and configs in the
appropriate place (So the queue structure was created by doing the make
setup check).

Subject: Regenerating qmail
Hi all,
I'm stuck with a problem. I'm trying to run qmail on multiple
machines, with the maildirs and the binaries on one NFS server.
Basically all that's local under /var/qmail is control, queue and
supervise all the rest is common to all machines.
My problem is re-creating the queue something seems to go wrong. I took a
virgin queue directory and copied it to the NFS server so I could
replicate it at a later point. The named pipe 'trigger' in the 'lock'
directory I removed and recreate on each local machine and chowm it back
to qmails.
This all seems to run the system looks ok, only messages aren't delivered
until qmail is stopped and restarted, any further messages after that are
held until you stop and restart again.
I have a feeling it may be to do with the lock directory, but I can't be
sure. Anyone done this succesfully?
