On a side note, is there any reason that qmail-remote should start up and
then just sit there connected to a remote

be retried, but unfortunately they tend to get retried at much the same
time. Again, 2 messages get through, and the process repeats. This simply
isn't efficient.
I think qmail is great, don't get me wrong. I just thing there is
room for improvement.
