Good guess, but it's wrong. The smtpd directory logs the output of the
tcpserver that handles port 25. It's pretty boring, it just shows who
connected and when. qmail-smtpd doesn't do any logging itself.

/var/log/qmail contains the qmail-send logs. This is where all the
important information about all delivery attempts is logged. See:

For more details about the qmail-send logs.

Yes.
