Found it.  It was strace.  Thanks :)  Long output file though...
I'm not sure what I'm looking for in it.  I'll post the file at:
http://www.scitechsoft.com/strace.txt
Some points of interest:
1. It's hacking off parts of my file, maybe?
chdir("/var/qmail")                     = 0
open("control/me", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 5
read(5, "\0\0\0\0scitechsoft.com\n", 64) = 20
This is www.scitechsoft.com
close(5)                                = 0
open("control/defaultdomain", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = 5
read(5, "www.echsoft.com\n", 64)        = 16
This is scitechsoft.com

2. What are these files?  I've mainly been using "Life with qmail" as my 
refernce and didn't find any mention of them...
open("control/defaulthost", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No 
such file or directory)
open("control/idhost", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK) = -1 ENOENT (No such 
file or directory)

I'd say that's fairly close, eh?
So, that's what qq is.  I am starting to see the light.  Well, at least a grey 
fuzzy glow.

Just did.  It reported:
instcheck: warning: /var/qmail/bin has wrong permissions
So I ran:
ls -al /var/qmail/
and trimmed out the other stuff to keep down on size....
drwxr-xr-x  12 root     qmail        1024 Jul 26 09:50 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root     root         1024 Jul 20 16:20 ..
drwxrwxrwx   2 root     qmail        1024 Jul 20 16:13 bin

Ok, it's probably too permisive, but the stuff should still run, right?

Thanks again.
Rob
