You've missed a crucial line here. The one that says "starting delivery
to local blah..."
Whatever blah is, the mail is being delivered to some program via
a .qmail file and that program/shell is not coping with the contents
of the email.
Whatever program it is, it's not a part of qmail, it's a part of
a local setup.
