You mean like this?
(Replace USER by your username, mailhost.example.com by your hostname.)
; echo ./Mailbox-foo > .qmail-foo
; touch ./Mailbox-foo
; chmod 400 ./Mailbox-foo
; echo foo |
/var/qmail/bin/mailsubj 'Unreadable test'
USER-foo@...
With these results in the log (timestamps elided):
starting delivery 9328: msg 973272 to local
USER-foo@...
delivery 9328: deferral: Unable_to_open_./Mailbox-foo:_access_denied._(#4.2.1)/
You might get a different result if the file looks writable, but
really is not. For example, it could have the right mode but reside
on a read-only filesystem.
To clean up:
; chmod 600 ./Mailbox-foo
# wait for the message to be delivered, then
; rm ./Mailbox-foo .qmail-foo
