Let this be a lesson to everbody. I followed Dave's LWQ to the letter
OR !!!!! I thought I did. That was the problem. There were 2 letters
(characters) missing at various points. God knows how many times I checked and
others checked and we kept missing the letter d in smtpd at one point and an
upper case S in NOFILESGID at another.
Read carefully. Qmail works and works well if you do as Dave says. Get it going
then make any changes.
Thanks Dave... The time you spend makes all our lives a lot easier.

Your /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file should look like:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1
It sounds like QMAILDUID and/or NOFILESGID aren't getting set. You
don't say what platform you're on, but it's possible that "id" isn't
in the path when the script is run, or doesn't support the -u and -g
options. Try running:
id -u qmaild
If that fails, do "man id". See if your system has an "id" that will
work. Solaris, for example, has one in /usr/xpg4/bin/id. Change the
run script to specify the location of the correct "id" command, e.g.:
QMAILDUID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`/usr/xpg4/bin/id -g qmaild`
Talk about gratutious incompatibility...
