	Could you send me "strace -f" logs of both smtpserver binary
	starts ?

	Err...  Did you compile the ZMailer at that machine ?
	Which kernel sources the compilation host has ?
	You may have encountered IPv6 problem at 2.0.20-odd
	Linux kernels.  In 2.0.30 those incomplete vestiges
	were taken out -- at my suggestion.

	Possibly you need to add option '-4' to the SMTPOPTIONS.
