I got this mostly resolved now. I used the recordio tool to give me a log of the complete smtp conversations my server took part in. It turns out that the SMTP part of it worked flawlessly, but the other problem I mentioned regarding clamav stopped the conversation dead, and the mail didn't get delivered. This was a little tough to diagnose, because only 1 out of 5 messages would see this error (for incoming), but all outgoing messages would get it.
Once I realized this was the case, I disabled the qmail-scanner and everything began working flawlessly again (except for getting more spam than I did before). Instead of having to diagnose the clamav issues, I just removed it, and installed F-Prot instead, and have just finished reinstalling qmail-scanner - and all seems well. But I came damn close to abandoning Gentoo because of this problem... I'm glad I don't have to do that. Now that I have things stabilized, I think it's time to build a replacement server (I don't trust the overall configuration of the system anymore - that, and I want to try the Gentoo 2004.03 release to see what they've changed.. <grins>) (I apologize for my ramblings, but I DO hope they help someone).
