Make sure the qmail-smtpd tcprules allow your machine to acess that server
as a relayhost. My /etc/tcprules.d/qmail-smtpd (which in turn is compiled
into the qmail-smtpd.cdb):
:deny
127.0.0.1:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
Which denies all connections except those from localhost and from my LAN.
Plus it allows localhost and LAN connections free-for-all relaying,
meaning they can spoof all they want. This is good for me because my whole
LAN effectively pretends to be "someone else" (I pretend I'm
leather-collection.com which in turn is just a maildrop virtually hosted
by TabNet, of course for us).
You could allow other interfaces without the RELAYCLIENT option and
they'll only be allowed to send to you. I think, at least. Protection so
you don't get tagged as an open relay.

Two approaches:
1. Get a Maildir-patched Pine. Check the QMail homepage for the latest. I
don't like this, though, because one it's patched, and two it can't keep
up with Pine releases that fast (I've got this "thing" for using the
latest when it comes out).
2. Go through an IMAP server. I use this because I need an IMAP server
anyway, as I've got IMP running (and access my mail from another Linux
box). I highly recommend courier-imap. Check out
http://courier.sourceforge.net/ and follow the link to the courier-imap
packages. Forgot the website for that. Unless of course you wanna drop
QMail altogether and use Courier including for your MTA. I wouldn't do
that, though.
Good luck! :)
