As I think I explained in at least a mail message, you still need to run
sendmail as your SMTP listener, and get it to pass mail destined for
local recipients to /etc/queuemail.  The sendmail.cf that's generated
from {andrew}/overhead/pobbconf/sendmail.cf.pobb will do this, but it's
specialized to the Internet mail case (e.g. no UUCP).

(Warning to the easily-revolted: raw sendmail code follows.)
In outline, you do this.  In sendmail.cf ruleset 0, you shoud replace
all the lines that resolve to the mailer named ``local'' with lines that
resolve to a mailer named something else; I'll use the name ``Xlocal''. 
Thus, for example, you'd replace the line
    R$+	$#local$:$1	local names
with
    R$+	$#Xlocal$:$1	local names
Replace all the uses of ``local'', or at least all where you expect to
receive mail.

Now, you have to define this mailer, too.  I use the definition:

MXlocal,	P=/etc/queuemail, F=nlmuFD, S=10, R=20, A=queuemail -r $g -i -s -T -A 0;transarc.com;Network-Mail -a $u

(all on one line).  Thus, instead of sending local mail to the ``local''
mailer, you'll be sending it to the ``Xlocal'' mailer, which delivers it
by piping it to an invocation of /etc/queuemail with the given
arguments.  (The ``-A 0;transarc.com;Network-Mail'' option says that
this mail is unauthenticated according to AMDS, no matter who actually
delivers it; you might wish to change the domain name transarc.com to
your favorite local domain name.)  Why do this, and not simply change
the ``local'' mailer to run /etc/queuemail instead of /bin/mail?  It's
like this: sendmail recognizes the mailer called ``local'' and performs
services for it that AMDS doesn't want, such as lookup/recognition of
local user names, or substitution of /usr/lib/aliases names.

Does that answer your questions?
