You'd need to stop qmail before you can bind on port 25. This is just to demonstrate what was happening with qmail.
So /etc/init.d/qmail stop nc -l -p 25 This'll only work on a remote server since qmail delivers locally otherwise and bypasses the smtpd (as far as I can tell anyway). Another poster did make a suggestion also and I forgot to mention you need to restart qmail for the change to take effect.
