Unfortunately, you appear to not have followed it very well.

A classic symptom of qmail-send not running.

So qmail-send isn't running properly (keeps being re-started).

And qmail-smtpd appears to not be running correctly either.

Permissions or ownership of /, /var, /var/qmail, or /var/qmail/queue appear to
be incorrect.

Why did you try this? The queue should be mode 750, not 755.
To try to fix some of this:
1) Stop all qmail services.
2) Do "make setup check" from your qmail source directory again.
3) Go through all your startup scripts, comparing them again to the ones in
"Life with qmail", letter by letter.
