Hi Chris
You put this query up on the 10th. and tc lewis replied? I would endorse his
answer to you, look into supervise from the daemontools toolkit.
If you are starting off with qmail and want to get it up and going then go
with one of the established methods of setting it up - Life with qma

tcpserver runs in the foreground. that line:
tcpserver: status: 0/40
is its [logging] output. when it accepts a new connection, it will output
more.
just run it in the background.
maybe pipe stdout and stderr to a file for logging.
or be elegant and use supervise and svscan (see daemontools
do
can anyone help me figure out why qmail-smtpd will not start. i have been
following multiple peices of literature to complete the install...although
they all differ slightly...i have had no trouble with any stage of the
install except getting qmail to start listening for remote deliveries.
