Hmm. SMTP is a "push" protocol, not a "pull" protocol. (Ignore the
TURN command which was an exceedingly poor idea and was never widely
implemented, thankfully.)

The closest SMTP comes to a "pull" is the ETRN command, which causes
the server to try to send any queued messages to the client, *but* the 
server initiates new connections to the client for sending these
messages.

You might try running tcpdump while WinSMTP is doing its thing to see
exactly what it's doing--and to make sure it'll work with qmail.
