However, as you've noted, use of inetd/xinetd with qmail is deprecated. It's much simpler to set up with tcpserver (from ucspi-tcp). See djb's documentation on his website at cr.yp.to, or do a Life with qmail installation (see http://lifewithqmail.org).

qmail-smtpd from inetd or standalone?
I have a little question: i was thinking that running a program from inetd introduces an overhead; on a high traffic smtp server this implies many many forks. Is there a way to setup qmail-smtpd to run standalone, as we can do with apache, that when it starts already has a number (5, 10, or some other configurable number) of child listening? If that is possible, is a good solution? and how could it run with tcpd or tcpserver? Thanks, Antonio Messina.

To run qmail-smtpd from tcpserver, see ftp://koobera.math.uic.edu/www/qmail/faq/servers.html#tcpserver-smtpd. Chris
