Running qmail

[Gojyo]

Hi,
it seems that I have a issue with qmail itself.
Now I'm trying running it without daemontools (I can configure them later,
and, as Svein Halvor said, qmail should run as well without).
Now, /usr/local/etc/rc.d/qmail links correctly to /var/qmail/rc, which is a
copy of /var/qmail/boot/maildir.
At boot, the script is executed, and ps -A|grep qmail returns me this:

485 con- I      0:00.04 qmail-send
  501 con- I      0:00.01 splogger qmail
  502 con- I      0:00.01 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
  503 con- I      0:00.01 qmail-rspawn
  504 con- I      0:00.01 qmail-clean
  606  p0  S+     0:00.01 grep qmail

However, no service is listening on port 25, as "sockstat -4l" tells me.
I've tryed using the others /var/qmail/boot scripts, but it's the same.

Talking about logs, the "messages" log shows me nothing related, while
"maiilog" prints this line when I start the script:
1134993056.844518 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20

trying to telnetl localhost on port 25 refuses the connection.
I think is a qmail related problem (and not, say, firewall related), since I
have other services running whithout problems, like Samba and OpenSSH.
Any idea?
Thanks again!
