Qmail is not sending mails


I have installed qmail in centos 5 machine.
After the installation , the qmail is not able send mails.
The output of the qmailctl stat is

[root@testserver qmail]# qmailctl stat
/service/qmail-send: up (pid 28409) 168066 seconds
/service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 20217) 1 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 20210) 2 seconds
/service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 20211) 2 seconds
messages in queue: 9
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 9
[root@testserver qmail]#

The /service/qmail-send/log is showing 1 seconds and 0 seconds only while using qmailctl stat command

where the log files stored. how can i view the qmail log files to find out the problem.

I tested the installation with inst_check script. It says the installation is correct.

I don't know what is the problem. Qmail is not able to send any mails at all. Local mails are not send at all .
The remote mails are sending and i got it correctly , for example to gmail etc.

Another problem is the reply from remote ( for example gmail etc ) is not getting at all. The remote client says the mail is sent successfully. After some time it got the failure delivery message like this in gmail

This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY.

the best way to see what is going on with your mail server is to try to send mail manually (open up net-cat or telnet)http://www.rdpslides.com/webresources/FAQ00035.htm also send mail from server to localhost and see what happens (with telent/net-cat)
