Assuming you mean /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current, it's used by tcpserver
to log connections to port 25.

Multilog doesn't decide where messages go. It just reads messages from
standard input and writes them to the appropriate file in the
configured directory. Typically, qmail-send writes to one place (e.g.,
/var/log/qmail, and tcpserver writes to another
(/var/log/qmail/smtpd). This is usually configured in log/run script
(e.g., /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log/run or
/var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/log/run).
