empty queue.  Easiest way to do that is to install a second
installation of qmail in /var/qmail2.  Make a symlink:
    rm -rf /var/qmail2/control
    ln -s /var/qmail/control /var/qmail2/control

Associate /var/qmail2/bin/qmail-smtpd with port 25, and
/var/qmail2/bin/sendmail with /usr/lib/sendmail.  In 7 days (aka
control/queuelifetime), the old queue will be empty, and you can
remove that installation of qmail.
