In general, it is a strange idea to set up a mail gateway without
notifying the root (even if it is for outgoing mails only). Your netadmin
will set it up for you if it is really important. If he/she refuses, get
an SMPT server address from outside and send your mail through that.

Starting qmail by inetd (and using inetd at all) is 'a bit' outdated.
I have three letters for you: LWQ.
Good luck.
