Got the message

qmail: alert: cannot start: unable to open mutex

after being a little too heavy handed clearing out a load of queued junk messages on one of my qmail servers. Had to do the following to get it working again:

touch /var/qmail/queue/lock/sendmutex
chown qmails:qmail /var/qmail/queue/lock/sendmutex
