Ah. Sure you can quit it: You need to type the telnet escape
character (usually ^], that is Control + right bracket) which will
give you the "telnet>" prompt. Then type the command "close".
As to why you get no response, that is a different question. You may
try running /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd from the command line:
; /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
220 fiinbeck.math.ntnu.no ESMTP
quit
221 fiinbeck.math.ntnu.no
If it responds ok, then the problem must be with your tcpserver
setup. You could try running tcpserver interactively. In one xterm,
as root, run
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -x/etc/tcprules.smtp.cdb -u5100 \
-g5151 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
(after killing off your nonfunctional tcpserver that is lurking in the
background), then try connecting to it from a second xterm and see
what kind of response you get in the first one.

I don't know, because your log excerpt did not tell me what user the
delivery was for. It should say delivery 15: msg xxx to local user@...

Don't worry. You don't need it. Later, perhaps, when your basic
setup is working, you may wish to start playing with users/assign, but
leave it for now.

Dan's FTP server produces directory listings in a somewhat unusual
format which confuses some broken web browsers. Try a different
browser, or maybe the plain old FTP program itself.
