Assuming you followed the basic installation instructions, port 25 is
controlled by inetd. You should have a line in /etc/inetd.conf that
tells it to run qmail-smtpd when a TCP connection is made to port
25. You also need to send inetd a signal telling ti to reread
inetd.conf. On most (all?) Linuxes, that can be done via:
killall -HUP inetd
Note that "killall" on other systems such as Solaris kills *all*
processes, not just the named process. Talk about a gotcha...
