I'll keep doing this through the mailing list so I can expose myself to the
whole tech world ;-)

You've apparently confused/combined /var/qmail/rc and
/var/qmail/control/defauldelivery and added a little innovation of
your own (grep).

I'm not grepping anything unless I did it in my sleep.

So, what do you have in these two files?

This is in /var/qmail/rc:

#!/bin/sh

exec env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:$PATH" qmail-start "`cat 
/var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery`"

It's all on one line as my Linux installation sometimes stumbles 
on continuation  /

This is in /var/qmail/control/defaultdelivery:

./Mailrdir/

The leading dot is in there also.

Qmail delivers received mail to the appropriate ./Maildir

Wait a minute...you get that when you telnet to port 25? That's not
good...

No, just telnet in on port 23. The message is displayed as if it were
the logon greeting.
