No, no, no -- that would break lots of things.  Your first instance of qmail
lives in /var/qmail/ and handles all your outgoing list mail.  It's mail queue
is in /var/qmail/queue/, the binaries are in /var/qmail/bin/, control files in
/var/qmail/control, etc.  You don't run qmail-smtpd for this instance.

The second instance of qmail lives in /var/qmail2/ .  The queue is in
/var/qmail2/queue/ .  Binaries are in /var/qmail2/bin/ .  Control files are in
/var/qmail2/control/ .  You run /var/qmail2/bin/qmail-smtpd (through
tcpserver) on port 25 to accept bounces from the outgoing list mails from the
other qmail instance.  That way, bounces are injected into /var/qmail2/queue/
instead of /var/qmail/queue/ -- and you don't run into the problem where
qmail-send from the first instance of qmail has to pause processing of
outgoing messages to handle incoming ones.

There is no connection, really.
