Okay. This script starts svscan. svscan will run another set of scripts to
actually start the various qmail services. You'll have a service directory
(probably /service, but possibly elsewhere) containing symlinks to other
directories. Look for one called "smtpd" or "qmail-smtpd". Inside that
directory will be a script named "run". We now need the contents of that
script.

Yes, that's one line from the logs of qmail-send (the main qmail process,
which actually is responsible for the delivery of messages).

And that is indeed the log from qmail-smtpd (well, from its tcpserver
instance, anyway). Were there any error messages in this log?
