I believe Pine uses sendmail for it's MTA interface. I'm not sure
whether your RPM file replaced the default sendmail program in place or
not, so you should double-check that this is so. Just move the current
sendmail program (either in /usr/lib/sendmail or /usr/sbin/sendmail or
else try `locate sendmail`) to a backup file and then make a symbolic
link from that location to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail (adjust according to
where you installed qmail) by doing:
ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail [location where you found sendmail such as
`/usr/sbin/sendmail`]

I'm going to assume you're using tcpd here. First of all, make sure you
have this line (all one one line) in your /etc/inetd.conf file:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild [location of tcpd such as
/usr/sbin/tcpd,
again, if you're not sure: `locate tcpd`] /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
and that you have the following in your /etc/hosts.allow file:
tcp-env: 127.0.0.1: setenv = RELAYCLIENT
tcp-env: (any other IP addresses you want to be able to relay) : setenv
= RELAYCLIENT
then send tcpd (inetd) a SIGHUP signal:
ps auxw | grep inetd
kill -SIGHUP [proccess number of inetd]

Doesn't look like you setup your control files, either, which isn't a
big deal; but it's always nice:
echo -n [your domain name/IP address here] > /var/qmail/control/me
echo -n localhost > /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts
echo -n postmaster > /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto
Judging by these problems you're having, I might guess that you didn't
read much of any manual on qmail. Try reading Life with Qmail
(http://www.lifewithqmail.org/), it's a world of help.
