If you use tcpserver (which I strongly suggest) you can use the relay
control scripts on qmail.org. I use this method and it works very well.
You can have tcpserver coexist with inetd, etc, just have inetd stop
controlling those services.
Follow the qmail HOWTO sections about tcpserver, and once you get that
installed, the relayctrl scripts will make alot more sense. I'd show you
mine, but unless you are already running tcpserver, its useless to you.

I just have to ask why you need to do this. Is there not an SMTP server
available, provided by whatever entity provides internet access?
