I'm told they had a power failure, so it's possible there was
filesystem damage.

That was my suspicion too, but they still have the January 2001
timestamp from when I installed them.

Yeah, the web gui sqwebmail works fine. Qmail smtpd is also using tcpserver.

Hmmm, I just rebuilt ucspi-tcp (from FreeBSD ports) and see the same
behavior even with the new "tcpserver".

I'm much more worried about rebuilding vpopmail... and have to use the
ancient version to preserve the old user database formats IIRC.

Thanks for the suggestions.
