Apparently? You don't know? What interpretation have you made of the logs?

Show us what it generated. There is no point in trying to delivery mail if
"make check" fails.
If you mean that it didn't fail, then show us some logs of the delivery
attempts. Show us some ps output of all qmail processes. Show us a process
trace of qmail-send.
In other words, we don't want a paraphrase of your problem, show us some
real data if you wish to have some hope of a useful reply.
Regards.
