You can see qmail-send process running with 'top', right? 

Do you have inetd runing? 
Check for 'inetd_enable="YES"' (and sendmail_enable="NO") into /etc/rc.conf!

If the inetd is running, try to uncomment the line 
for smtp into /etc/inetd.conf.
The line begins with 'smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild ...'


Hope that will help... :-)
