In order to receive mail with SMTP over the network you need to set up
qmail-smtpd to be started from your inetd. The line that you need to
add to your inetd.conf is also included in qmail's /var/qmail/doc/FAQ,
but it looks like:
smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
and then you will have to restart your inetd, with:
# killall -hup inetd
