That's a pretty standard environment for qmail. So it's not normal behaviour.
When you say everything, does that mean every process associated with qmail,
including the tcpserver process? If so, that's *very* unusual.
If you mean the qmail processes - do they run for long before doing this?
Are you in a position to truss qmail-send after it starts and until it
disappears?
