Pine should send mail using /usr/sbin/sendmail (which should be a link
to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail), which calls /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject,
which calls /var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue, which explains the absence of
qmail-scanner headers, but not the ``sendmail-bs at 127.0.0.1'' part.

Does the message have any qmail headers? If not, you are probably using
/usr/sbin/sendmail from real sendmail (not the qmail one), which passes
the mail to sendmail submission process running on the port 587/tcp.
The message is then delivered by sendmail.
If this is the case, you should disable sendmail by
	chmod 0 /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail
and create the symlink
	ln -sf /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail
.


Or maybe I'm wrong. (I certainly am wrong if you  are not using mbox
delivery to the same place, where sendmail would deliver the mail).
