Sorry about the long posting, but at least everythings in one place.
It seems to me that qmail-pop3d is not running correctly, thus explaining
the errors in /var/log/maillog, but is that also causing my splogger process
problem?

With supervise. I've added several key files below for a more complete
reference.

It's a perl script that uses sendmail, but it is the qmail replacement for
sendmail.

Well, /var/log/maillog has tons of these error messages:
