How do you get tcpserver to run the qmail-smtpd daemon? When I run it
as in the faq, it runs and I see the process running, but it doesn't
accept connections. I then changed it to use inetd using tcp-env and
qmail-smtpd accepts connections. Could someone get me starting in the
right direction?

Possibly the reason you were "blasted" is that this is incorrect. You
_cannot_ make inetd or xinetd use tcpserver. Your xinetd script doesn't
use tcpserver; it uses tcp-env. tcp-env was originally designed to
allow you to do tcpserver-like operations from inetd, but is now
deprecated. There are precisely zero advantages to using inetd/xinetd
in this manner, and several disadvantages (when compared to a simple
tcpserver installation).
