You should probably setup a POP3 or IMAP server, so you can access your mail. Qmail already comes with a POP3 server; see:
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#pop-imap-servers
.. for details on setting that up. If you're going to use IMAP, I'd suggest using Courier-IMAP (...
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2111
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 2312
Looks like something is listening on port 2111 and port 2312, but Qmail does not normally use those ports; it wants to use port 25/tcp.
You might want to look at your qmail logs...
a) Run "ps aux" to make sure qmail is running; you should see a list of program like:
qmail-send
qmail-smtpd
qmail-lspawn
qmail-rspawn
qmail-clean
.. also run and "netstat -na" to make sure qmail is listening on port 25. On a BSD System, it would show a line that looks...
As a followup, you might want to take a look at the source for vqRegister for some ideas -- it's by the same people who wrote vpopmail.

IMP has substantially improved since your email was posted. If you still cannot get IMP to work with Qmail, post an update - and I will try to help you. - J
It is likely that your system uses /etc/syslog.conf to decide where syslogd records different types of logs. I would presume that your syslog.conf has a line similar to
mail.info /var/log/maillog
You will probably find that vpopmail is logging to /var/log/maillog
Hope this helps.. - J

I believe meekrob is on the right track. First, check your local machine to make sure you're allowing it to make the outgoing connections. Here's my guess: Your ISP is one of the many who are now...
Is your internal (Outlook) machine using a private IP, or an internal 'fake' name for the Qmail server, instead of a 'real' ip or real name - like the rest of the world?
If so, you might have it setup to treat that internal name/IP as a seperate domain, which might not contain the mailbox in...
If the error is "Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_any_hos(ts by that name)" - then the mailserver can't look up the domain. (assuming the address you're trying to send to has, in fact, a valid domain. Check for typos).
- Make sure you didn't firewall the qmail machine off to the point where...
Did you tell qmail to reload that file, after adding the new domain? If you are using the LWQ instructions, you'll already have a script named qmailctl - and you can tell qmail to reload the file by typing:
qmailctl reload
.. at the command prompt. Otherwise, you can do:
svc -h...
