mail stucked in qmail queue!

I've written php scripts to send email, I communicate directly with SMTP server on port 25 and manage myself all the command/response HELO,AUTH.....

Everything goes fine, qmail's authentication OKs my login, I create destination, date and send the QUIT command, qmail is happy.

But mail is stucked in the queue, in plesk I see all the mails generated by my scrips in the queue remote.

All emails send with webmail and outlook from my pc using regular pop/smtp identification go through.

How can I investigate this? Could it be blocked by spamassasin?

Thks!

some more interesting news:

periodically I see the following in the process list, looks like qmail is willing to relay the pending outgoing email but it doesnt go through (NB: the destination SMTP server is OK)

ps ax:


3628 ? S 0:00 qmail-remote <DESTINATION-SMTPSERVER-DOMAIN> <FROM-EMAIL> <DESTINATION-EMAIL>

3629 ? S 0:00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-remote.moved <DESTINATION-SMTPSERVER-DOMAIN> <FROM-EMAIL> <DESTINATION-EMAIL>
