You did most certainly NOT set up your system properly. 

Check your name resolution for "localhost". 

In particular, your tcpserver (uscpi package) is not set up
properly. See the qmail install documents and install it properly.

You might either have qmail installed into inetd which is NOT supported
by qmail, although still mentioned in the install document. 

Get the current ucspi-tcp-X.XX.tar.gz package, install it and see
/var/qmail/doc/FAQ section 5.1 for details.
