Actually, I have to agree that the wording that "qmail 1.03 no longer
supports inetd" seems to mean that qmail 1.03 doesn't work with inetd. But
the web site (at least as of this moment) has perfectly clear wording:

   Inetd is no longer recommended for use with qmail 1.03. Use tcpserver
   instead.

BTW, I agree with Eric about being unnecessarily insulting.
