Make sure you added the smtp line in inetd.conf:

  smtp stream tcp nowait qmaild /usr/sbin/tcpd /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd

and HUP inetd.

OR, if you're using tcpserver instead of inet to start Qmail, make sure that
you're starting tcpserver (change paths and other settings (-u, -g) to match
your system):

  /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -s/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c100 -u7791 -g2108 0 smtp \
  /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd &
