Wonderful!:-))

This is pretty much the same problem Postfix used to have, and the
solution would be the same. I suggest you contact the maintainers of
the Qmail port (Openprotect, is it?) and suggest they do a similar fix
as Jules did for Postfix.
In the meantime, you can ... alleviate ... the problem by configuring
your system so that it is sure to have a high degree of i-node
consumption (pretty much everything on one partition/filesystem). Will
not cure it completely, but might at least make it not that frequent.
