I run FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE #3 which has a directory /usr/local/etc/rc.d where
files with extension .sh automaticly get fired up when the system boots. So I
just made a file qmail-pop3d.sh which a comparable line.
Since I don't know what you're running I guess it's hard that I tell you were to
put it...

That's what I prefer, but who is the one doing it?!

Do you mean can you start more than one tcpserver? Sure you can.

Well, to be honest, my qmail-pop3d.sh script is a little different as well. I
guess it depends on what you are doing. I also have vpopmail because the host
services more than one domain.

pop it something else as smtp.
pop is being used by mail clients (Netscape, Eudora, Outlook, etc) to get the
e-mail from the machine. smtp is used to send e-mail from one machine to an
other.

You will have to start an other tcserver line for qmail-smtpd.
tcpserver is simply speaking just a TCP communications application that can be
instructed to listen on a certain IP address on a certain port and activate a
certain program when something happens on that specified IP+port. You basically
can replace inetd with tcpserver.
