You must be missing a sendmail link.. all copies of sendmail should be -x'd
and replaced with qmail's sendmail wrappers.
Do a 'locate sendmail' and make sure none of the binaries are still alive
and kicking. I think in redhat the one people miss is in /usr/lib/ I
think.
/bin/mail will work for sending mail without modification once qmail is
installed and sendmail is deinstalled and wrapp'd out.

i did that, but my mail still doesn't get sent with 'mail'
it does get delivered when I do:
echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
but I want something like 'mail' to prompt me for subject,
etc.. is there something I'm missing? don't tell me I have
to de echo to: | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject every time I
want to send a message!?
thanks to everybody for the feedback.
