Not terribly bad... because it's fixable!
It sounds like you're using qmail through tcpserver... and you just need to make sure
you /etc/tcp.smtp file exists and has localhost set as a relay client...
% pwd
/etc
% cat tcp.smtp
127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=""
Then execute the following commands:
tcprules /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcp.smtp
chmod 644 /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb
Then you should be able to telnet to localhost 25 and be able to issue SMTP commands
and get a greeting, etc.

Ok so now I tried telnetting to localhost 25 and I get this:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
Is this bad?
