There can be several Reasons.
1) check /etc/hosts.deny
2) check /etc/inetd.conf
3) there is something going wrong with your smtp daemon and it died
It could be no Firewall Problem because that would block completely...

in qmail root is not able to check mail for security reasons!
solve:
# echo youraccountname > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
there is the same with .qmail-postmaster and .qmail-mailer-daemon
for me eg. works:
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
# echo mmaier > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-postmaster
# ln -s .qmail-postmaster /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
