qmail-smtpd doesn't do anything but talk SMTP and queue mail. If there are DNS
lookups going on or ident requests being made, qmail-smtpd has nothing to do
with it; whatever process listens to the network and executes qmail-smtpd for
SMTP connections does the DNS-looking-up and ident-requesting. In your case
this is inetd, and how you keep inetd from doing this I have no idea. You could
also track down the DNS problem that's causing this and fix it.

tcpserver works better, and will be much better supported by this mailing list.
http://www.lifewithqmail.org covers setting up qmail-smtpd with tcpserver very
nicely. It's also covered in the FAQ:
