That won't do it.  You also have to remove the /service/qmail-send
symlink, wait 5 second to let svscan notice that supervise has exited
and the symlink is gone, then restore the symlink.  Alternatively, on
systems with an init that will restart svscan[boot], if you don't want
to touch the filesystem, you can kill svscan and run:
# svc -dx /service/* /service/*/log
