Check to see if a link to qmail-inject is in /etc/smrsh. Many sendmail
replacements will refuse to run at all if the link isn't there.

Second, is /bin/mail or /bin/mailx setgid mail?

Free suggestion: these days, qmail is pretty quirky and getting further
off in the weird zone by the month. I'd *really* suggest switching to
postfix or exim if you don't like sendmail. Either Postfix or exim are
much easier to configure and have a lot fewer weird "features". YMMV,
but if you're tinkering, you might find it easier to switch than make
qmail work.
