I know logging is working for the smtp end of things, because when there was
a conflict, that's where the message showed up, but when i send a message
from a client with a virtual mailbox to an external user, no entries appear
in the /var/log/smtp/current logfile. something does appear in the
/var/log/mail/send/current file. So what is qmail-smtp being used for?
i also don't really understand how multilog knows to pull information for
smtp as opposed to send since the run scripts are practically identical,
just in different locations (/var/qmail/supervise/(smtp or send)/log/run,
and point to different directories to store the log. I'm guessing either
multilog or supervise knows that since it's in the ../smtp or ../send
directory to gather information from the process started in there?
my scripts for the log start up are identical except for the destination
directory of the log files.
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH
exec setuidgid qmaill multilog t s1000000 n20 /var/log/mail/smtp 2>&1
Thanks again for all your help.

Yes. It means there is already a process on your machine
that is listening to the smtp port, port 25. This could
be sendmail still running, or inetd or you already have
a copy of tcpserver running, probably under supervise.
Try that.
