1. Mount your new filesystem at /var/qmail2
2. Configure and install a new instance of qmail, under /var/qmail2
3. Stop qmail-smtpd from your original qmail install, and start the
qmail-smtpd from qmail2, so new messages go into /var/qmail2/queue
4. Disable/remove qmail-inject, mailsubj, etc which are currently injecting
into the old queue. Make everyone use the newly-installed ones, which
are injecting into the new queue in /var/qmail2/queue
5. Wait a week for the remainder of messages in the old queue to either be
delivered or bounced.
6. Remove the old /var/qmail installation completely.
