Hang on... If I read this right, you killed qmail-send with a -9 ? Bad.
This is what you're supposed to do:
kill qmail-send (standard kill, not kill -9)
... it waits for it's qmail-remote children to finish ....
kill qmail-remotes (standard kill, not kill -9)
... now qmail-send will die on its own ...
