OK, good, so qmail-send is running. What does:
/usr/local/sbin/qmail stat
say? And:
ps -ef|grep qmail
ps -ef|grep supervise

That means tcpserver isn't listening to port 25. What does
/var/log/qmail/smtpd/current say?

Doing "make setup" should fix that.

"make setup"

The pop server has no messages to serve. You'll have to fix smtp
first.

Hmm... I wonder if something else is listening to port 25, preventing
tcpserver (for qmail-smtpd) from grabbing it. You don't still have
sendmail or some other MTA running, do you? And there shouldn't be an
smtp entry in xinetd.dir or inetd.conf.

Have you HUP'd qmail-send since adding nmore.com to locals? How about
posting a few lines from the log, not just the error message?

You won't be able to receive mail from other systems or inject mail
via SMTP, but local injections (qmail-inject) will work.

/usr/local/sbin/qmail stop
rm -rf /var/qmail
