Trying your echo test failed to put anything in maillog, so I moved towards
something 'looking right, but not working right'. I changed the .conf to
from the following:
it had mail.*none in the /var/log/messages line
and then below that had mail.* to goto /var/log/maillog
I commented out the maillog line, and made the /var/log/messages line be
mail.*
That worked, so then I changed the lines back to the originals, but put the
/var/log/maillog line BEFORE the /var/log/messages line, and it works. So
maybe this is a glitch in this version of syslogd that ships with rh6.1?
Thanks for the help Dave
.. now I move to the 'real' problem =)

Do:
echo foo |/var/qmail/bin/splogger qmail
If you don't see a line like:
Nov 8 15:15:21 6C:sws5 qmail: 942092121.752035 foo
in /var/log/maillog, then your syslog isn't configured properly (or
needs to be HUP'd if you recently modified syslog.conf.)
If you do see such a line, you need to re-examine your qmail startup
command. Do you see a splogger process in a ps list?
