QMail not cooperating


Hi all, im doing a QMail installation and so far it went well from what i've read here. However when i do simple tests to see if the mail server is running or not i get this.

Code:
server:~# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 27357) 0 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 17240) 1684 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 27354) 0 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 17245) 1684 seconds
messages in queue: 0
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
So far so good right? Look further...

[user@computer]$ nmap 10.23.2.37

Starting Nmap 4.20 ( Insecure.Org - Nmap Free Security Scanner, Tools & Hacking resources ) at 2008-06-18 18:10 CDT
Interesting ports on 10.23.2.37:
Not shown: 1692 closed ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
21/tcp open ftp
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
111/tcp open rpcbind
113/tcp open auth

Where is the listening port?

Back on the server....

server:~# netstat -a
Active Internet connections (servers and established)

tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 localhost:smtp *:* LISTEN <--- Why isnt it showing else where?
So when i saw that i figured, maybe its just hiding. Until i tried the following....

Quote:
[user@computer]$ telnet 10.23.2.37 25
Trying 10.23.2.37...
telnet: connect to address 10.23.2.37: Connection refused
Whats going on??? That tutorial lasted about a good hour or two(slept between installation) and now i dont have a working email server?! Ugh!

One more thing.

This is the output from /var/log/qmial/smtpd/current file...

Code:
@400000004859396e1c6d0404 tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used

@40000000485939773129887c tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used
Could that be part of the reason why its not working? Help! Im completely lost

Thanx in advance!

Try:

fuser 25/tcp

to see which process is using that port (your logs said it's already used!)
