Sorry, I've never set up a mini-qmail -- in those circumstances, I normally
use Bruce Guenter's nullmailer.

If delivery fails, qmail returns an appropriate error code. The program doing
the sending has to check whether the send was successful or not.
You're probably better off to just install a full qmail setup, have no local
domains (or just exclude any local users), and use smtproutes to send all mail
to your ISP's smarthost.
