from man tcpserver
Data-gathering options:
-h (Default.) Look up the remote host name in DNS to set the
environment variable $TCPREMOTEHOST.
-H Do not look up the remote host name in DNS; remove the
environment variable $TCPREMOTEHOST. To avoid loops, you must use
this option for servers on TCP port 53.
-p Paranoid. After looking up the remote host name in DNS, look up
the IP addresses in DNS for that host name, and remove
the environment variable $TCPREMOTEHOST if none of the addresses
match the client's IP address.
-P (Default.) Not paranoid.

/var/log/qmail
multilog works a bit differently to syslog
tail -f /var/log/qmail/current | tai64nlocal
