Check your smtpd log run script - it's trying to write to /var/log/qmail
not /var/log/qmail/smtpd, and you can only have 1 multilog process per log
directory (for this reason I use /var/log/smtpd instead of /var/log/qmail
- the log dir is the same name as the service dir, and always sits (or is
symlinked into) /var/log).
