Your smtp daemon is not running. That's probably qmail-smtpd.

Depends how you configured your logging, and what logger you're using.
It could be /var/log/maillog, or /var/log/qmail, or one of many other
choices.

tcpserver isn't meant to be run from within inetd. It's supposed to run
standalone.

That looks broken to me (is tcp-env trying to run tcp-env?), but as I don't
use tcp-env or inetd, I'm not sure.

Your logs will say. Really. You just have to find them.

There are many good places. www.qmail.org points to all kinds of user-
contributed documentation -- Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" describes a
particular configuration of qmail and supporting utilities, and gives a
step-by-step guide to obtaining that particular configuration. This is
a particularly good setup for someone who isn't comfortable designing their
own configuration.
