I'm a little confused by the presense of the su above...  are you really 
calling /usr/bin/mail in your command?  What do you get from 'which mail'?

/var/qmail/bin/sendmail is a wrapper to provide a subset of the usual 
sendmail options for programs that call it directly.  There is usually a 
symlink to it from /usr/sbin/sendmail (or wherever sendmail is located on 
your particualr system).
