/var/local/qmail/queue/lock/trigger

That did it.

I had it prw-------

One annoying problem with qmail is the following:

The machine I built it on and the machine I compile it on are not the same.

The machine it runs on is a barebones firewall that doesn't have anything such

as make, cc other goodies installed.

So I have to make it on a machine, make a tarball, and install it on the
other.
Somehow, the w bits got lost in the transfer. Maybe a tar bug on named pipes
??

I'll investigate further.

Thanks a lot for fixing my problem
