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. (I would think you have a zillion zero-size files in your /var.) Generally, you have two options: 1. Find out who's eating the inodes. Fix that process. Delete the spurious (zero-sized) files. 2. Backup your /var. Reformat it with more inodes. Restore from backup.

That note applies regardless of whether you use supervise, I think. It certainly sounds like nohup may solve your problem. Have you tried it?

In qmail's documentation, the pop3 port is always specified as "pop3", however in Redhat port 110 is actually referred to as "pop-3", you either want to add pop3 to your etc/services file or change the tcpserver invocation.

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.
