I don't know of any MTA author who thinks putting their MTA's /queue/
on an NFS share is workable -- DJB certainly doesn't.  Why did you decide
to configure your systems this way?

Then your queue is corrupted, and I wouldn't be surprised if NFS was at
least a primary contributing factor.

You would be utterly wrong in thinking so.  Read INTERNALS in the qmail
sources to see what /really/ happens.
