is the 'trigger' file present and correct?
/var/qmail/queue/lock/trigger should have the perms and ownerships:
prw--w--w- 1 qmails qmail 0 May 17 02:33 trigger
Dave Sill's "Living with Qmail" has more info about that sort of problem.

It's also possible that there are a large number of mails queued for
one remote site that is broken.
# qmail-qread | grep remote | grep -v done | sort | uniq -c | sort -n | tail
will sort them into a ascending order of messages queued for each
email address (which will take a few minutes possibly for 2-3000
messages) and show the top 10.
what reasons, if any are being shown in your logs for failures?
I use something like:
% tail -f /var/log/syslog | grep '[^g] delivery [0-9][0-9]*: '
to watch successes and deferrals.
