Look in your /var/qmail directory for a subdirectory called 
"supervise".  This supposes that you've used the author's recommended 
way of running qmail (daemontools).

Inside that directory should be several other subdirectories - with 
names such as qmail-smtpd, qmail-pop3d, qmail-send (obviously depends 
on your individual installation).

Inside those subdirectories are subdirectories named "log" which have 
files named "run" in them.  These run files will show you where your 
logging is going (if anywhere).

For example, in my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-send/log directory there 
is a file named run which contains:

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/setuidgid qmaill /usr/local/bin/multilog t 
/var/log/qmail

I'm using the author's multilog tool to send my logging to 
/var/log/qmail

Once you find the log files, post the error messages.  My guess is that 
it's a permission problem on the directories in question, and qmail 
can't write the mail.

You can also check the queue (/var/qmail/queue) and see if the messages 
are still there.
