rblsmtpd is the stock RBL (blacklist) processor.

I guess it doesn't run well with an empty parameter file. Who'd'a thunk? ;)

Running w/out any RBL is unusual, as RBLs do catch a lot of spam. Which RBLs work best for you is something you'll need to determine for yourself.

If you really want to run with no RBLs, you can simply omit it from the smtp/run file.

Personally, I would recommend installing spamdyke, which does RBL processing in place of rblsmtpd. Changing the configuration for spamdyke to not use RBLs is then a simple matter of commenting out a few lines in the /etc/spamdyke/spamdyke.conf file. Spamdyke contains many other anti-spam filters which are quite effective, and will reduce the load on your server substantially. Spamdyke typically rejects 80+% of spam, without even receiving it! It's pretty amazing.

See http://wiki.qmailtoaster.com/index.php/Spamdyke for QMT spamdyke info.

blacklist file size=0

If I remove the rblsmtpd from the run file, the problem disappears. This is the source of the problem.
What does this rblsmtpd do?

I.

How empty? Size=0, or is there a CRLF in there?

I ask because you said you don't have a problem with port 587. That would indicate a problem with rblsmtpd to me, because that's the main difference between 587 and 25 (other than 587 requiring authentication, which hasn't come into play yet). Instead of using an empty file, you might try removing rblsmtpd in the /var/qmail/supervise/smtp/run file and see what happens with that.

I'll try to see if the server tries to connect to other hosts when I telnet in.

The reverse DNS didn't solve the problem.
Now I need to dig really deep.

When I do "telnet 127.0.0.1 25", what happens before the welcome message is shown on the screen? With the default installation, SA or Clam doesn't some kind of BL check.
How can I completely disable SA and Clam?

Upon initial connection, RBLs in the /var/qmail/control/blacklists file are performed. Then the server logs the info and the banner is shown.

You will want to turn on recordio to troubleshoot this further.
