Depending on what you meant by "OS manipulation", the following
troubleshooting steps might be valid:
-See what's in your /etc/tcp.smtp file - make sure you're allowing
connections and that the tcprules database has been rebuilt properly.
-You say you can't telnet, but that you do get some sign of connection.
You should clarify what is actually happening here. If the packets are
being rejected at the network level, you've got a non-qmail configuration
issue.
-See what's in your mail logs. If qmail-smtpd is getting the connection,
but something is going wrong, it will log an error telling you about it.
-If there is something wrong with qmail, a "make setup check" from the
source tree will usually do wonders, especially after an OS upgrade with
strange manipulation.
Hope this helps,
