Thanks, but I don't think that's it. The original conf-qmail file
pointed to a work directory rather than /var/qmail, & my original
qmail-smtpd works fine.
I guess I'm going to leave this as-is for a while; I was relying on

have decided that blocking port 80 is a good thing to do in the face
of the nimda worm...
