The qmqp deamon is likely closing the connection because you haven't
sent a valid netstring, I would guess -- I stress this is a guess.

None of the above. QMQP isn't designed as a test-friendly protocol; it
contains arbitrary binary data in a highly-structured format. Trying to
do QMQP manually with telnet is likely an excercise in frustration.
See djb's QMQP page for details: http://cr.yp.to/proto/qmqp.html
