mailscanner moves the queue body file from its queue to the MTA's queue
by hardlinking it and then deleting it from its own queue.

If you are able to hardlink files from one queue to the other then it
should work. If not, it won't.

In your case this means it won't work; the queues are not on the same
filesystem (even if on the machine that's hosting them, they are), and so
trying to hardlink between them will fail.

Mailscanner really should detect this, I suppose. I'll fix it now.


Cheers,
