Martin,
You are probably going to need xinetd or tcpserver in the near future
(qmail expects it's port to be protected against relaying by something
else and inetd won't do that) since I use xinet.d here's a working set
of config files for xinetd and tcpwrappers. The qmail file goes in
/etc/xinet.d (which should be available for slackware) and allow is
/etc/hosts.allow for tcpwrappers.
