Someone else finally noticed...  If you check the archives, I brought 
this up months ago and no one seemed to notice the duplicates.  
mail.delanet.com has been doing this for quite some time now.  I 
finally just wrote a procmail recipe for all of mail.delanet.com on 
another account that I post from because I was tired of seeing the 
duplicates. :-)

Actually this is only smtpd thats running it should look something like 
this
  160 ?S  0:00 supervise qmail
26314 ?S  0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t s9 n100 
/var/log/qmail/
26424 ?S  0:00 unixserver -U -q /tmp/.qmail-qread 
/usr/bin/qmail-qre
26493 ?S  0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t s9 n100 
/var/log/qmail/
 2393 ?S  0:00 unixserver -U -q /tmp/.qmail-qstat 
/usr/bin/qmail-qst
11135 ?S  0:03 /usr/local/bin/multilog t s9 n100 
/var/log/qmail/
11144 ?S  0:06 qmail-send
11168 ?S  0:01 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
11169 ?S  0:00 qmail-rspawn
11170 ?S  0:01 qmail-clean

"ls -l /service" should give you something like this

lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   24 Feb 15 19:21 pop3d -> 
/var/qmail/service/pop3d
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   24 Feb 15 19:18 qmail ->

/var/qmail/service/qstat
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   24 Feb 15 20:55 smtpd -> 
/var/qmail/service/smtpd

try "svc-start qmail" if the qmail link exists in /service
if the link does not exists add it and start qmail

The reason why the mails stick in the queue is because qmail-send is not 
running start the supervised qmail process and all the mails will be 
deliverd in seconds.

Permissions on the Maildir are probably wrong. Did you create a users
Maildir as root?

It looks like it's not running. You should see these:

qmails 235  0.0  0.4   952  472 con- I17Apr01   0:57.48 qmail-send
root   242  0.0  0.3   888  380 con- I17Apr01   0:10.77 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
qmailr 243  0.0  0.3   888  424 con- I17Apr01   0:01.92 qmail-rspawn
qmailq 244  0.0  0.3   876  384 con- I17Apr01   0:09.98 qmail-clean

It looks like you probably have qmail-smtpd running, which will happily queue
mail that comes in via SMTP, but qmail-send isn't there to process it once it's
queued.

What's in /service/qmail/run? Is /service/qmail/run executable? Is anything in
the logs?
