The message "daemon MTA: problem creating SMTP socket" means that another
sendmail process is running and is listening on the SMTP port already. You
need to ensure that the original sendmail is firmly switched off. The tick
in the GUI should do the job.

If you can produce a list of instructions for Raq4 users, it would be much
appreciated. I'll post it on the website for you. If you need some help
sorting it out, give me a shout. That way everyone will benefit sooner.
