Maybe it doesn't like the looks of your packets. : )
You need to be running an SMTP server to accept mail on the SMTP port,
qmail-SMTPD is the one you're likely to go with, and yes, it should be
handled by tcpserver. Once you have tcp server installed (see
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html, notably
http://www.flounder.net/qmail/qmail-howto.html#10a ), a line such as:
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u502 -g501 0 smtp
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
In your init script will start it up. You may want to use the RBL
(real-time black hole) or other spam filter, but that's up to you. The
above URL's have plenty of info.
