When I try to start service manually throught svc :

[root@srv05 qmail-smtpd]# svc -d .
[root@srv05 qmail-smtpd]# ./run
multilog: fatal: unable to lock directory /var/log/qmail: temporary failure

Hmmm; your qmail-smtpd run file shouldn't have multilog in it. What does this file look like? (post a copy to the list)

qmaill 8882 0.0 0.0 1428 300 ? S 17:45 0:00 /usr/local/bin/multilog t /var/log/qmail/smtpd

...and the reason is because multilog runs in it's own supervised directory (the "qmail-smtpd/log" directory), as shown here.

[root@srv05 qmail-smtpd]# netstat -a

EGADS that's a lot of stuff. Please tell me you're actually *using* all those services? Otherwise, it's probably a good idea to shut them all off (never have a server listening to the network unless you actually need it to).

I've checked lwq site, tried the http://lifewithqmail.org/inst_check script that says everything looks good. I've searched google, this mailing list archive, without success. Sorry for if this Email is a bit long, but I got no more solutions right now than asking this list.

No, this is all good information. If only more people provided as much useful information as you!
