It looks like putting the mail in the pppdir works fine.

you mean "can not" right?
Are you online, when you try to send the mails via maildirsmtp?
What happens if you simply try a
$ telnet mail.bayarea.net smtp
in parallel to the above command? Do you get a connect?
I would assume you have problems that your system is not online and
therefor maildirsmtp cannot establish a connection to the mailer of
bayarea.net

remove the bayarea.net line. It doesn't belong there.
Also the name is "plusdomain" (not plusdomain*S*) and it may only
contain a single line.

remove bayarea.net lines. They don't belong there, unless you want to
receive emails for that domain.

What do you need the bayarea.net line for?
Also the syntax is wrong. You may have only domains (or empty) in there
on the left side of the ":".

That looks ok. However all the config files have little to do with the
problems you have.
