Thanks Shane,

That was from /var/log/qmail/current, which I thought was a combination of
qmail-send and qmail-smtpd, however I don't see all the info in it which I
see in /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current so thanks here it is:

log of a typical delivery attempt, looking at qmail-smtpd log

# tail /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current | tai64nlocal

This 'connect(): No such file or directory' message is new. I don't know
which file it is talking about; the contents of my
/service/qmail-smtpd/run file are:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail`
NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 10000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -l 0 \
    -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
    -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
    /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1

(As you can see I have increased the memory limit whilst troubleshooting).

I have verified that all executables exist, file permissions set
correctly. I have done a qmailctl cdb.

and
# cat /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp

127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
:allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"

/var/qmail/bin/simscan is there, permissions -rws--x--x, owned by clamav/root

...any more info I can provide?

Regards,
David
