Well, I recently rebooted my machine (don't ask why, long story), and all of
the sudden, there's no logging, and qmail-start is listed as a
defunct/zombie process if I ps ax | grep qmail as root.
Any ideas what's going on here? I'm running under supervise.

You could install a second qmail for your "remote local" mail. Have
the main qmail route to the secondary qmail using a virtual domain.
