This means that qmail is working. Good.

Not possible -- it always logs _somewhere_. Even if you've badly bungled
the install instructions, it will log to the console... Whose
instructions did you follow for installing qmail? IIRC, the default
instructions in the tarball result in syslog messages using splogger
(ugh) and LWQ's instructions result in logs in /var/log/qmail/*.

Please send the list an example of what you're trying to use to
send mail from a script. I personally speak shell and perl.
Alternatively, if you followed the directions in LWQ and/or the
INSTALL.* files, try the following from the command line:
cat << EOF | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
From: root
To: root
Subject: Testing script
Testing
EOF
The above is all you need to send mail in a shell script. You can, of
course, get fancier.
