Hello,
I just installed  the tcpserver package. I then isssued  the
/etc/init.d/qmail stop command. When I grep for qmail from ps I get no
output. Yet when I go to start qmail under tcp server I get the following
error: 

> tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c400 -u101 -g100 0 smtp
/usr/local/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used

[1] 8963
[1]    Exit 111                      tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c400
-u101 -g100 0 smtp  ...

When I run qmail-qread I see that there are 2000 messages in the queue. I
have attempted to send a kill -14 to qmaild in order to run the queue which
takes a seemignly inordinate amount of time. My question is does mail
sitting in the queue cause the above error message and if so what is the
best way to restart qmail with mail sitting in the queue so that I may bind
to port 25 ?
Thanks in advance.
