Something is screwed with the way you're starting qmail-smtpd from
tcpserver. tcpserver is thinking that the IP address is 510. My guess
is that 510 is the user id or group id of qmaild and you have forgotten
to put a -u or -g in front of 510.
Post your tcpserver startup script if you can't figure out where you
went wrong from my diagnosis.
