I just wanted to thank everyone for their help so far! I'm close to getting this 
together and running

 but.... I'm still getting one error at startup! 

supervise: fatal: unable to start qmail-smtpd/run: exec format error

My /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run file contains:
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaill`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaill`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 3000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
        -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Dave Kelly asked : 
Q- Something is already bound to port 25.  Have you turned off sendmail? 
A- Yes, Sendmail is dead but I still can't telnet to port 25.

Q- Have you checked to see that there are no errant qmail-smtpd processes already
running?
A- No qmail processes are running.

(Plus, you'll still need to correct the ownership or permissions on
/var/log/qmail)

drwxrwxr-x   6 qmaill   root         1024 May 31 14:37 qmail
I changed some things around in my /etc/passwd file, but I'm such a newbie I don't 
which one
is correct. From LWQ section 2.5.4 I had,
qmaill:*:879:602::/var/qmail:/bin/true
and from another source I had,
qmaill:!!:879:602::/var/qmail:/bin/bash (this is in there now).

I don't know if the above has anything to do with my problem. Is one format correct 
and the other not? Thanks for your help and patience!
