The most likely problem is that your qmail trigger file isn't a socket:
# ls -l /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 Jun 15 09:51 /var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger
If you do this and the "p" isn't there, that's your problem.
Another possibility is that your relay is overloaded, and qmail is
knocking it over with bursts of mail. Perversely, decreasing your
remote concurrency may speed things up by limiting the rate at which
qmail forwards messages to the relay.
Try setting /var/qmail/control/concurrencyremote to something small, like
5, stop and start qmail, and see if that helps.
