/service/qmail-send/log: down 292 seconds, normally up

/service/qmail-smtpd: down 292 seconds, normally up

/service/qmail-smtpd/log: down 373 seconds, normally up

messages in queue: 8

messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0

why wont qmail-send close?

Answer:

I can see that you used Life With Qmail to install qmail.

from 'man qmail-send': If qmail-send receives a TERM signal, it will exit cleanly, after waiting (possibly more than a minute) for current delivery attempts to finish.
