The error message seems pretty obvious to me. There is some problem
with the qmail-smtpd executable. Perhaps it was compiled on a
different system, perhaps it was compiled on a later version of the
same system. Whatever the problem, your OS doesn't like that
executable file for some reason.
To confirm this, I'd run qmail-smtpd from a command line prompt
thusly:
$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
Please do this and show us the output.
To fix it you probably need to rebuild and reinstall the program. I
don't really know whether LWQ does this in the standard way.

tcpserver is working fine. The problem is that the program it wants to
run (qmail-smtpd) is not running for some reason.
