hmm. Unfortunately I'm using inetd (now). Are there any
experiences? Would entries in /etc/hosts for the local machines be
ok for inetd?
(I will switch to tcpserver when installing new systems but I
would like to stay with inetd on this system)

According to the Qmail-"Big Picture" qmail-remote is only used
when sending mail. Am I Right? DNS lookups are ok when sending
mails.
