Which guides are those? cr.yp.to has installation instructions for
ucspi-tcp and daemontools, but not qmail. And the INSTALL file
included with qmail doesn't mention ucspi-tcp or daemontools. Yet, I
see you're using both, as well as the LWQ (and soon to be TQH)
qmailctl script.

That all looks good.

It's curious that you can't run the binaries because some of them are
obviously being run by svscan.

Where are you looking? Try "more ~user/Mailbox".

Yes, definitely.

It's cleaner to delete what you can before reinstalling, but either
way should work.
