man dot-qmail:

SAFE QMAIL EDITING
          Incoming messages can arrive at any moment.  If you want to
          safely edit your .qmail file, first set the sticky bit on
          your home directory:

               chmod +t $HOME

          qmail-local will temporarily defer delivery of any message
          to you if your home directory is sticky (or group-writable
          or other-writable, which should never happen).  Make sure to

               chmod -t $HOME

          when you are done!  It's a good idea to test your new .qmail
          file as follows:

               qmail-local -n $USER ~ $USER '' '' '' '' ./Mailbox

I have no idea if mail will follow the usual timeout schedule if it's being
deferred because of this.

HTH,

J.
