You don't need to use tcpserver in order to do this. I'm running qmail 
off inetd as a mail relay with no problems. Now that our inetd uses 
tcpwrappers it offers identical functionality.

All you need to do is put a line like :
tcp-env: 127.0.0.1, 192.168.: setenv = RELAYCLIENT

where 127.0.0.1 and 192.168. are the IPs of machines (or networks) that 
you want to be able to relay through you, into /etc/hosts.allow. Then 
HUP inetd and you'll find it all works swimmingly! :-)
