Yes, when using qconfirm to send mail, it for now must be done locally
on the same machine that also handles the incoming mail.

See the qmail-inject man page, it's something like

 $ cat /my/mail/message |qmail-inject

To have qconfirm control the return path and message id as documented do
this instead

 $ cat /my/mail/message |qconfirm-inject

You can let e.g. mutt do the work:

 $ grep inject ~/.muttrc
 set sendmail="ssh a.mx.smarden.org qconfirm-inject"
 $
