Plesk messages stuck in spool directory or bounce back

I think I "broke" qmail for my VPS. my inodes had approached 1,000,000 files after searching folder after folder I found over 900,000 files in /usr/local/psa/handlers/spool

i deleted every file using SSH

unfortunately that messed up qmail. almost everything sent is bounced back. a few spam messages get through

i did find I could create a new email account and messages to it work fine. however if I delete an existing account and rebuild messages still bounce back.

any direction on what to do would be tremendously appreciated. i would prefer not to uninstall/reinstall qmail if other solutions are possible.

i have successfully run qmailclean.sh and qmailclear.sh but things still don't work.
