Uhh.. it's kinda late and i'm sleepy so this might not sound sane... but
maybe you should try:
telnet 127.0.0.1 25 or telnet <your ip address> 25
You can run qmail-smtpd from tcpserver... I would prefer running it under
tcpserver instead of inetd....
You can get tcpserver from the koobera.math.uic.edu ftp server.. it's under
/pub/software/ucspi-tcp-0.84.tar.gz
