This part:
tcprulescheck says what tcpserver will do with a connection from
IP address $TCPREMOTEIP with host name $TCPREMOTEHOST and remote
connection information $TCPREMOTEINFO, following the rules
compiled into cdb by tcprules.
I said to read carefullly. Reading just the first two words after the
heading does not constitute a careful reading. :) If you bother to
keep going, the paragraph explains that tcprulescheck uses the
contents of the environment variables TCPREMOTEIP, TCPREMOTEHOST, and
TCPREMOTEINFO to determine which entry in the cdb to return. If all
three are unset, you get the default rule back. If you don't want the
default rule, set one or more of them.

Apparently your shell doesn't support that syntax. (Maybe you use
(t)csh?) What you need to do is set the environment variable
TCPREMOTEIP to the address you want to test, and then run
"tcprulescheck /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb". In (t)csh, the syntax is:
setenv TCPREMOTEIP 203.34.190.170
tcprulescheck /etc/tcpserver/tcp.smtp.cdb
Note: I've tested both of my suggestions with ucspi-tcp 0.88, and
both work here (in the appropriate shells of course).
