I noticed that qmail-smtpd was not running on sourceware, which meant
that no incoming mail was being accepted. I ran
/etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail stop, and waited for all the qmail programs to
stop. Then I ran /etc/rc.d/init.d/qmail start, and it started again.
Now qmail-smtpd is running (actually tcpserver on port 25, accepting
connections and passing them to qmail-smtpd).
It looked like qmail had been restarted at 1:38GMT, about one and a
half hours ago as I write this. I don't know how this was done, but
it appears that qmail-smtpd may not have been restarted along with
qmail.
We may want to move qmail under /service, rather than running it via
/etc/rc.d/init.d. I think that will be more reliable, as it means
that programs will be automatically restarted by svscan if they fail
or are killed for some reason. I can do this if nobody objects.

I'd rather not, actually. I have to stop qmail from time to time and
I'd rather use "service" to do it. I'm not sure why it didn't restart
when I started it today, though. I just tried it again, and it seemed
to be ok.

If we put qmail under /service, then you stop it using
svc -d /service/qmail
and you restart it using
svc -u /service/qmail
Admittedly a new set of commands, but not too hard to use.
