Ok, good. I'm sorry you found the rules vague. Do you have any
specific questions about using tcprules in conjunction with
qmail/tcpserver?

I've never used rblsmtp, so I can't offer any quick suggestions. :/

Not directly. His qmail FAQ does refer to 'tcpserver':
<http://cr.yp.to/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd>
How do I run qmail-smtpd under tcpserver? inetd is barfing at high
loads, cutting off service for ten-minute stretches. I'd also like
better connection logging.
Answer: Install ucspi-tcp. Remove the smtp line from /etc/inetd.conf,
and put the two lines
tcpserver -v -u 7770 -g 2108 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \
2>&1 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger smtpd 3 &
As to why he doesn't have a specific mailing list for ucspi-tcp,
I don't know. ucspi-tcp is used with, at the very least, qmail
and djbdns; both of those web pages cite ucspi-tcp in either the
FAQ, or in the install instructions.
So - there are hundreds of citations of tcpserver, et al, in various
archived mailing lists on the net; presumably you should look them
over before asking questions about ucspi-tcp. Heck you should do
this even if there _was_ a ucspi-tcp-specific mailing list.
As there isn't, asking qmail-related ucspi-tcp questions on the
qmail list certainly seem appropriate.
Good luck...
