I send this reply back to the responder and forgot to email it to the list.

> How are you starting qmail-smtpd? (ie the tcpserver line).
Out of the run file in /service/qmail-smtp. Here is the paste of the file:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD"
\
-u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
2>&1
This is being called from qmailctl inside the case statement "svc -u
/service/qmail-smtp".

The install was done by a highly paid "Linux/Qmail" Consultant - who is
stumped, which
is cold comfort to me. I have questioned him at length on install procedures
and
he swears to have followed the INSTALL doc to a T. He has been knowledgable
on
other projects and I do have a good amount of faith in him and his work and
while he
does have reason to cover his butt because of his fees, I don't believe he
is.

I am faced with the prospect of re-installation which I will do myself this
time - but
I would rather not have to if there was some other solution.
However, on the subject of re-installation, and forgive me because I have
not researched
this in the archives, do I need to de-install qmail before reinstalling or
can I simply overwrite it?
And another newbie type question: I checked out GNUS's homepage. I am a
slave to Outlook. I
would like to break the bonds but, uh, I didn't see anything about a release
for NT Server.
Is there one? How do I get it?
