Please find out first if it really is qmail-queue; I can't imagine that (unless there's a bug, or a DoS attack against your qmail) the queue eats up all 128k inodes and only 171MB of disk space.

Stop qmail 2. rm -rf /var/qmail/queue 3. cd /usr/src/qmail (or wherever your qmail sources are) 4. make setup check 5. Start qmail. (Alternative: Delete all file in /var/qmail/queue _except_ the files in /var/qmail/queue/lock.)

RE: qmail problem
The user you want to be to set up the qmail files is alias Assuming you have created an alias user (and all the other required qmail users) su alias cd alias touch .qmail-postmaster touch .qmail-mailer-daemon touch .qmail-root If you decide to use Maildirs eventually each of those .qmail files must contain the line ./Maildir/ and you must have created the Maildir directory using the maildirmake executable that is in /var/qmail/bin Ironically, I have installed using the RPM and I cannot perform the command su alias because the alias user has no shell specified, I don't know why it was set that way.
