Is there any reason that qmail does this? I use inet now, I must have been
confused with the -R because I thought you would put that in with the inet
config for qmail. Is the only solution to switch to tcpserver? What kind
of conversion from Inet is there?

This is almost certainly due to DNS problems or ident lookups timing out.
You
should look into the -R, -H, and -l (that's an ell) options to tcpserver.
And
check the list archives; this question comes up at least a couple of times a
week.
