So are you saying that if you do 'telnet localhost 25' it actually
tries to connect to '71.28.79.87'?

If so, then that seems to indicate that host lookups are still being
done primarily through DNS and it isn't looking in your /etc/hosts
file.

What happens if you do 

  telnet 127.0.0.1 25

what about 

  telnet ::1 25
