3. Is there any way to make the /var/log/qmail/SERVICE/current logs to have timestamps in it rather than what I see now: @40000000043285caba...
The logs aren't very helpful without timestamps.

that format is TAI64N (http://cr.yp.to/libtai/tai64.html). the logging system that comes with qmail wants to use it, for various reasons which i'm sure DJB would be glad to explain to you. :)

to get a translated version of a log file, use commands like the following:

# cat /var/log/qmail/smtp/current | tai64nlocal > /tmp/smtp.log
# less /tmp/smtp.log
