1. put "-v" in your smtp/run file. The toaster has no -v and therefore no log.
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -l 0 -v \ 2. upgarde to qmailadmin to 1.0.6 as per the toaster. tar xzvf qmailadmin-1.0.6.tar.gz cd qmailadmin-1.0.6 ./configure -- (your options here) make make install-strip 3. I see many of these and the mail server is running just fine. "/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd domain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true" Why these are there? Oh well, read life with qmail.
