   In order to log SMTP transactions do the following:
   1) # qmailctl stop
   2) Add 'SMTP_DEBUG="1"' to /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp 
   3) Replace contents of '/var/qmail/supervise/smtp/log/run' script with below to log transactions to different file: 
      
      #!/bin/sh
      LOGSIZE=`cat /var/qmail/control/logsize`
      LOGCOUNT=`cat /var/qmail/control/logcount`

   4) # qmailctl start && qmailctl cdb
