Yes. Russ Nelson noticed this, and created the big-todo patch. It helps,
but does not eliminate the problem in all cases. Basically the problem is
that qmail send will only process local and remote deliveries when there
is nothing left in todo.
Try applying the big-todo patch; it should help significantly.
