Or you could just add the following in your rc.?? 
(where the server ist started)

if [ -x /usr/spool/canna/lock/.CANNALOCK ]; then
  rm /usr/spool/canna/lock/.CANNALOCK
fi

Since the new server just looks if there is a lock file, you can remove the 
lock file at boot time before you start the server. This also helps, when
there was an incomplete shutdown, e.g. someone pulled the plug etc..
The name of the lock file might be different from the one above
