At the moment you see that many qmail-queues hanging around, qmail-smtpd's logs should read something like so, if logged through tcpserver: @400000003b5cd7620a221bcc tcpserver: status: 30/xx where xx is either 40 or whatever is specified in the 'run' file for qmail-smtpd. ISTR that inetd does some sort of logging of how many processes it has opened, but it's been so long since I used inetd for anything that I've forgotten. -- Greg White
