Qmail not listening / connection refused

I inherited a server yesterday, and Qmail is broken, it appears to start ok, but when I do a netstat, nothing shows listening on port 25. If I manually fire /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtp , I get my 220 banner.

The only thing I get in the logs is
qmail: Starting qmail: succeeded

a ps -aux shows
qmail-send
splogger qmail
qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
qmail-rspawn
qmail-clean
qmail-remote <domains>

#telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused



Any suggestions?

Thanks
