You're testing two different things; qmail-inject injects directly into the
queue. Netscape uses SMTP to connect to the machine and talk to its smtpd.

qmail-smtpd is denying relaying, as it's not configured to accept mail for the
recipient domain, as you found out. Check the file
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts. It should contain (along with whatever other
_local_ domains you've got (plus virtuals)), plus localhost.
If you're trying to run Netscape on a different machine and inject mail, you'll
have to set up selective relaying. Dave Sill's "Life with qmail" does a
good job of covering this topic.
