| Howdy. OK, ingoring relaying et al for now, I still cannot get mail

| local or remote senders works just fine. But mail from a local user
| to a remote rcpt just sits in the queue. _Nothing_ is logged,

| mail.* /var/log/maillog
Well, you clearly need to get logging enabled. Try this simple test:
; echo Testing | /var/qmail/bin/splogger
Does the word "Testing" show up in the logfile? (Don't forget that
syslog never creates log files. You must create them for it, then
send syslogd a HUP to make it use the new files.)
If you cannot get logging to work, you can at least run qmail in a
terminal window for a little while, to find out why remote mail is not
delivered. Just run qmail-start (as root) in the foreground, after
first having terminated the background daemon of course. Then all the
stuff that normally goes in the log file should show on the terminal.
Make sure to use an xterm with plenty of scrollback lines for the
test. To make qmail-send shut down gracefully after you are done
testing, use kill -TERM on it from a different terminal window, rather
than typing Ctrl-C at it.
In summary, we need more data. Go get it for us, and hopefully we can
pinpoint the problem for you.
