Two methods for rebuilding the qmail queue.

First stop Qmail 
# /etc/init.d/qmail stop
or 
service qmail stop

# cd /var/qmail/queue
# rm -rf info intd local mess remote todo
Create the necessary directories 
# mkdir mess
# for i in `seq 0 22`; do
# mkdir mess/$i
# done
# cp -r mess info
# cp -r mess intd
# cp -r mess local
# cp -r mess remote
# cp -r mess todo
assign nexessary attributes 
# chmod -R 750 mess todo
# chown -R qmailq:qmail mess todo
# chmod -R 700 info intd local remote
# chown -R qmailq:qmail intd
# chown -R qmails:qmail info local remote
Finally start Qmail 
# /etc/init.d/qmail start
or 
service qmail start
