What do the logs show for messages that "just sit in the queue"?

That means that supervise thinks qmail-send isn't running, and tries
to restart it. I looked at your scripts and processes, and everything
looks OK to me, so I'm not sure what's going on here. But this is only
a minor annoyance since supervise only tries to restart qmail-send
once per second, and qmail-start sees that qmail-send is already
running so it prints the message and exits. Whatever is causing your
outgoing messages to sit in the queue is something else.
