Hi Ronald

I think you have some problems before qmail-scanner... When you 
telnet to port 25 you have to got an answer from the tcpserver or 
qmail-smtpd, depends in how Gentoo starts qmail. Qmail-scanner is 
called by qmail-smtpd after the DATA smtp comand.

Your session must look like:

telnet localhost 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
