I will suggest tcpserver since it is the "proper" and recommend way of
running qmail, and probably 95% of your support on this list will come with
tcpserver related answers.
The reason you were getting 30+ second responses is due to DNS not setup or
resolving properly. You can get around it by adding "-l 0 -R" to your
tcpserver flags.
It is a very very FAQ.

Subject: xinetd, tcpwrappers and qmail
I've read through the archives and I'm still having problems with allowing
selective relaying. Here are the settings that I am using:
-------- /etc/xinetd.conf
defaults
{
log_type = FILE /var/log/servicelog
log_on_success = HOST PID EXIT DURATION
log_on_failure = HOST RECORD
}
service smtp
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
protocol = tcp
user = qmaild
group = nofiles
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /var/qmail/bin/tcp-env -R
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
}
--------
-------- hosts.allow
tcp-env: LOCAL, .foo.org, .foo.com: setenv RELAYCLIENT
--------
When I attempt to send mail from localhost (via SMTP) or from an allowed
domain, I alway receive the message:
553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)
Of course, mail going to my rcpthosts works just fine...
I am missing something in my settings, but I just can't find what it is.
I tried using tcpserver and that worked for allowing selective relaying, but
connections to any port from systems other than localhost usually took 30-45
seconds between getting the socket and getting the banner from the server.
There is no tcpserver mailing list that I could find and none of the man
pages
or online documenation told me how to fix this problem. Please don't suggest
that I use tcpserver to resove this issue because it introduces larger
problems.
Thank you!
