Well, the "p" has to be there, the owner and group have to be the
same, and, as you've guessed, the mode needs to be 644.

Right. qmail-queue and qmail-send use trigger cooperatively. When
qmail-queue queues a message, it writes to trigger. When qmail-send
can read something from trigger, it knows there are new messages in
teh queue. Even if nothing shows up in trigger, qmail-send scans the
queue every 30 minutes looking for new messages.
