This sounds like you didn't allow the host to act as a relay. The default
configuration will be that noone can relay through the machine, even the
machine hosting qmail. Usually mail on the qmail host will be injected
with qmail-inject rather than using an smtp session.
You need to add a line like the following to your tcpserver data:
129.89.124.28:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD=""
(The RBLSTMPD line is only needed if you are using rblsmtpd and you want
to still be able to use the smtp connection if your host shows up on a
blacklist.)
