You're probably running qmail-smtpd, which will accept E-mail and place it in the queue
("not yet preprocessed"), but qmail itself (qmail-send, qmail-clean, qmail-lspawn,
qmail-rspawn) isn't running, to process messages in the queue. Fix this by running
qmail-start (see Life with Qmail for details). You can verify whether qmail is running
by
using ps -elf or ps -auxw (depending on your system) and looking for the above ...send
..clean ...lspawn ...rspawn processes. If they're not there, qmail isn't running.
cheers,
Andrew.
