Is there documentation for each qmail error message?

No.

i.e

Unable_to_open_/var/qmail/boxes/Mailbox.user:_access_denied._(#4.2.1)

That one's pretty descriptive, isn't it? The user running qmail-local
can't open that file, probably due to file or directory
permissions. Note that you have to look at the permissions on every
directory in the path. E.g.:

  ls -ld / /var /var/qmail /var/qmail/boxes /var/qmail/boxes/Mailbox.user

Could a FAQ for each qmail error message be written up?

Certainly.

Would that be a useful addition to LWQ?

That would be great. It's been planned for LWQ since the beginning
(see Appendix F), but I haven't had the time/gumption to write it up.

Grant,

Do a web search on RFC1893.  This tells you what those numbers (#4.2.1)
mean.  It helps _ALOT_
