That's what happens if you mess with the queue.
DO NOT MESS WITH THE qmail QUEUE.
Or, at the very least, stop qmail and be very sure that you understand
EXACTLY what you are doing.
Even qmHandle (from www.qmai.org) has broken my queue once.
You need to run a queue-fixing tool (available from www.qmail.org).
Alternatively, to be really sure, rm -rf /var/qmail/queue (note that this
removes all messages in the queue) and make a new queue dir from the
sources.
Note that qmHandle and queue-fix need patches if you have big-todo.
