Yes.
"SMTPD" is the "SMTP Daemon" that listens on port 25 for incoming SMTP
connections. It receives the E-mail and saves it to the spool.
"SMTP-" is the SMTP (SMTP32.exe) delivery process, that takes care of
sending out the E-mail to a remote SMTP server or delivering it locally.

That is correct.
>This mail was rejected because the account

That too is correct.
