Okay, a couple of problems here. One, you're trying to bind to the pop3
port (the argument pop-3). That should be either "smtp" or "25".
Two, you're not invoking the right program.
Try something more like:
tcpserver g GID -u UID -DRvX \
-x /etc/tcpcontrol/smtp.cdb 0 smtp \
qmail-smtpd
Change GID and UID to the GID and UID values that the server should run
as. The last argument is the program which tcpserver runs for each
connection. -v turns on some status messages, -R turns off ident lookups
on the remote host, -D turns on TCP_NODELAY, -X says accept connections
even if the cdb file doesn't exist.
