Looks like the file system is mounted with the nosuid option. What
does /etc/vfstab say for the /var filesystem (or whatever is the root of
the filesystem holding /var/qmail). If it has domething like
-o nosuid
then that tells the kernel not to honour the setuid bits on files. SO
even if the permissions are correct, qmail-queue will NEVER be
executed with an effective user id of qmailq.
You can also do the following
mount | grep /var
You'll need to remount the file system without the nosuid option.
BE CAREFUL. This may have other security implications on YOUR system.
I can't say what they are because I don't know what else is in your
system.
