This is in /var/log/messages, right? Try looking at /var/log/maillog. If
there is no such thing, check the contents of /etc/syslog.conf to figure
out where 'mail' messages are being sent.

How did you generate this output? In other words, did you run
ps aux | grep qmail
or did you just run 'ps aux' and cut-n-paste the relevant parts? The
reason I ask is that you are not showing the following entries:
qmails 223 0.0 0.6 936 384 con- I Fri01AM 0:58.06 qmail-send
root 240 0.0 0.4 880 264 ?? I Fri01AM 0:07.17 qmail-lspawn ./Maildir/
qmailr 241 0.0 0.6 892 364 ?? I Fri01AM 0:03.92 qmail-rspawn
qmailq 242 0.0 0.5 868 292 ?? I Fri01AM 0:10.63 qmail-clean
These are created when you run 'qmail-start' through one of your system
startup scripts. Normally that script is a copy of one of the files in
/var/qmail/boot . I don't know what OS you're running, so I can't tell
you where to look, but you should have such a script.
Those 4 programs are the programs that actually control mail delivery,
both locally (qmail-lspawn) and remotely (qmail-rspawn). They need to be
running.
