Best: supervise'd tcpserver'd qmail-smtpd from a startup script
supervise allows you to control the service
start/stop/pause/continue
supervise will restart tcpserver if it dies
Next best: tcpserver'd qmail-smtpd from a startup script
tcpserver doesn't lock out the service if a flurry of connections
come it (which inetd does), but it does prevent denial of
services by limiting maximum concurrent sessions
access control
Not recommended: qmail-smtpd from inetd
not supported
no access control unless tcp_wrappers is used
poor rate limiting
no connection limit
no control over service
