I don't think this is the problem. If the server is re-booted and all
the daemons come up "normally" then I still experience the problem. I
just tested by stopping qmail-smtpd then re-running it from the .init
file then logging out. Observing form another console, I can see the the
daemon did not die when I logged out.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
