[ale] Qmail

[Jerry Yu]

I use 'qmHandle', a perl util to handle such things.
Looking at the source, it seems a SIGALRM to qmail-send daemon process will
do the trick. Of course, this assume the qmail-send is aware of your
relocated queue dir. Otherwise you may need to temporarily move it back to
default location.
