It could be either a permission problem or a path problem. Either way,
qmail will log something in your system logs.
If it is a permission problem, then the permissions on the .qmail file
should be 644. If the .qmail file has execute permission AND you are
attempting anything other than a forward to another address, then the
actions will fail. From the dot-qmail manpage:
If .qmail has the execute bit set, it must not contain any
program lines, mbox lines, or maildir lines. If qmail-local sees
any such lines, it will stop and indicate a temporary failure.
So if your .qmail file has execute permissions, it can only contain
email addresses.
If this isn't your problem, it might be a PATH problem. If the name of
the executable is NOT fully qualified:
| blah
then blah MUST be visible in the PATH that was used to start
qmail-start. The PATH of the user recieving the mail is NOT consulted,
ever. Try
| /the/directory/in/which/blah/lives/blah
