The instructions seem to work just fine, with the directory and the cdb.

I don't think it's tcpsvd that exits 111 here, it would print an error
message, 111 normally indicates a temporary error.  pid xxx in the
tcpsvd log means it forked for a connection and has pid xxx; start xxx
means it now runs the default program, specified at the command line.
But rblsmtpd, recordio, and smtpfront-qmail also shouldn't exit 111
without printing an error message.  M.S., could you please run a system
call trace to find out which program exits 111?, e.g.:

/usr/local/bin/tcpsvd -vv -u "$QMAILDUID":"$NOFILESGID" -c "$MAXSMTPD" \
  -x /var/qmail/control/peers.cdb 0 smtp \
  strace -f -o/tmp/trace /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd -b -C \
    -r bl.spamcop.net recordio /usr/local/bin/smtpfront-qmail

Thanks, Gerrit.
