On the local to local test.
When you installed you were given a choice between Mailboxes and Maildirs.
If you went with the Maildir approach you must make a Maildir for each user
using maildirmake in /var/qmail/bin and you must route the mail to that
maildir in the .qmail file for that user. The .qmail file must have
./Maildir/ in it to route to the Maildir. You will have to make sure that
/var/qmail/rc (not in my setup actually I used the Memphis RPM after using
the tarball) use maildir, (one of the install steps in install.MAILDIR
If you chose the Mailbox approach (I didn't) you will have to make sure that
var/qmail/rc uses mailbox.
As for your telnet connection failing. I was never able to get smtp to work
from the tarball. I only got it working after using the Memphis RPM, but
since then my Samba setup stopped working and pico doesn't work using remote
telnet (I suspect it is the tcpserver that was installed)
