did you maildirmake ./Maildir in your own homedir as you yourself (e.g. not
su - root)?
is ./Maildir/ in .qmail - and located in your own homedir? note the trailing
slash!
i guess you did, but for sure: did you 'echo to: me ...' or did you use your
real username?
the "..todo..." messages seems to point to a problem with your queue, since
todo is a subdir in <wherever>/qmail/queue
