have you tried rsync? It does neat stuff.

rsync is what I use. I'm not using qmail but the email server is using maildir so I think the situation is very similar. make sure you use --delete option for rsync otherwise your secondary email server will hold tons of old emails which are the result of some users setting to leave their emails on the server.
