That's a good start, though not always a desireable way to do it. I
much prefer running qmail-send under daemontools.

If your heart is set on running Qmail, you really need to check out the
LWQ, it's probably the most concise manual for running Qmail in
existence.
http://www.lifewithqmail.org
Since you've already got the basic setup out of the way, start with
section 2.8:

Good stuff, but where's the supervise process for qmail-smtpd?
A basic supervise script (run file) under daemontools looks something
like this (don't use this though, it has no error checking):
#!/bin/sh
QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild`
NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild`
MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming`
LOCAL=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/me`
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000000 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l "$LOCAL" -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \
-c "$MAXSMTPD" -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

Yup, dnbdns is pretty much a braindead installation, it depends on
daemontools to run. Qmail, on the other hand, can be run in a variety
of ways, and DJB leaves that up to the user to figure out.

Hopefully by now, you'll have yourself an operational mail server.

Oh, some more hints... You'll need to set up additional supervise
scripts for pop3 and imap services if you want them. Both are fairly
trivial to set up under daemontools.
Good luck,
