qmail can't send mail from local to remote

[soyo20]

I just took over a server that run qmail as mail-server.
Recently this server was crashed by spam mail. I deleted them with the program of "qmail-remove" and the command of "find .... -exec rm{}\;" The directory with spam I treated were "bounce,info,mess,remote...".
Now I can send and get mail to and from the user of this machine. I also can receive mails sent from other servers But I can't send mail to other servers. When I press SEND button of OUTLOOK, the mail was sent out normally.But in fact it isn't sent out. I can get messages from server like this:
# ./qmail-qstat
messages in queue: 5
messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0
# ./qmail-qread

Can you tell me what may be the problem, and how to resolve it.
Thanks.

There is a queue integrity checking tool, though I do not remember the name. If you had a crash and started deleting stuff, I would make sure that the queue folders are ok.

possibly called queue_repair ????

I am fresh with qmail. Would you explain me the solution more detail?
I think now I can send mail to local user means most of the qmail programs were work right. Only the qmail-remote was wrong.
#ls -l
drwx------ 25 qmails qmail 4096 Mar 2 09:14 remote
I hope you can check the above right.

I always think the problem is located on the part of remote queue, Can you show me what it looks like of &quot;ls -l remote&quot; run on your server?

By the way, on my computer It had been installed vpopmail Uscpi-tcp. If I reintall the qmail, does other software will be influenced. I am affraid the others would be wrong.
Can you advise me?

Your queue may only be partially broken. USE queue_repair!
