This may be really simple...

I just tried it literally using quotes around the echo'd message

echo "To: myself@example.com" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject
and
echo "To: myself@yahoo.com" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject

it works fine both times.

You should try the echo with quotes and you should try sending mail using 'mutt' or another mail client application.

You shouldn't have any troubles given your configuration.

You could also post your "qmailctl queue" command output for further help here.

i just realized something my netbiosname is lnserver
and my hostname is mail

so i can telnet lnserver smtp successfully
but i can't telnet mail.baritaportfolio.hopto.org
i get Connecting To mail.baritaportfolio.hopto.org...Could not open connection to the
host, on port 23: Connect failed

You seem to have an error in your /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3/run file that points to /usr/local/tcpserver
Typically this is installed as /usr/local/bin/tcpserver
This may explain script/delivery errors... a simple typo?
