The /var/log/qmail/ log file would tell us more about why a particular
user account couldn't be created, as smtpd should be working.  However:

  tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used

Shows us that it hasn't started up correctly.  Here's how to correct
that:

  cd /service/qmail-smtpd     # or whatever that directory is on your box
  touch down
  svc -d .

  lsof -n -i:25

You shouldn't have anything bound to port 25.  If you do, kill it off.
Most likely you have sendmail on your machine and should look into how
to turn it off.  You might be able to do the following:
  /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail stop
and look into how to stop it from restarting.

Then after that:
  ./run
and see if it startup.  If it can:
  rm down
  svc -u .
