All the critical files are in /var/qmail/control -- simply recover that
directory from your backups.

Either you can't connect to port 25 for firewall reasons, or nothing is
listening on 25.

This doesn't help us in the least. Show us /etc/tcprules.smtp, and
we'll tell you if anything is wrong with it.

tcpserver is only used for qmail-smtpd, not qmail proper (qmail-start,
which leads to qmail-send).

tcpserver and svscan/supervise are not mutually exclusive. A standard
installation nowadays uses svscan/supervise for all processes, and
a supervised tcpserver for qmail-smtpd.

Use of anything but tcpserver to run qmail-smtpd is deprecated. Use
tcpserver. Really -- it takes three minutes to install & configure.
