You're supposed to run qmail through tcpserver, and remove it altogether from /etc/inetd.conf. (tcpserver is a Bernstein replacement for inetd.) This flag goes for tcpserver, not for qmail-smtpd. I start it up from /etc/rc.local as follows /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 82 -g 81 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd & The best documentation for qmail is what comes with qmail itself, it's all quite clearly explained there.
