Help with qmail-smtpd logging

[Dave Fallon]

I have qmail, qmail-smtpd, and qmail-pop3d running on my system, all in default 
configurations (in /var/qmail/*, using daemontools/tcpserver, etc.). Qmail-pop3d is 
nicely running and logging things, but qmail-smtpd is dumping all messages to the 
console (tty1) - can anyone help me fix this? It's driving me nuts, as I obviously now 
have no log of what's going on with my smtp server. Here's the 
/service/qmail-smtpd/run script:

#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 -c $MAXSMTPD \
-u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21

and the /service/qmail-smtpd/log/run script:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd

and for comparison (the working config, I can read logfiles/whatnot) the 
qmail-pop3d/run and log/run files:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
iron.tetsubo.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21


#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t \
/var/log/qmail/pop3d

I'm no expert, but since I've just been setting up my own qmail, some of 
this is still freshly confusing for me! Did you remember to do all of the 
following?

chmod +t /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd
chown qmaill:nofiles /var/log/qmail/smtpd
chmod 2700 /var/log/qmail/smtpd
chmod 755 (both of your run files)
