Its because your already listening on port 25.....
You have to remove your smtp reference in your /etc/inetd.conf file then
send a HUP signal to inetd (killall -HUP inetd) then execute your tcpserver

Subject: PLEASE help me secure my open relay!!
Okay, I'm trying hard to close my open server.. Am having some probs,
and I hope I can get some help..
I've been following the instructions at
http://www.palomine.net/qmail/relaying.html (and some other sites I could
find) as well as I possibly can, but I'm having some probs. The popular
advice is to use ucspi-tcp-0.84 and so I went and downloaded it, followed
the instructions to install, and am consistently getting an error..
I try to execute:
tcpserver -R -x/etc/tcprules.smtp.cdb -u -g502 -u502 0 smtp
and I get back:
tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used
Do you have any ideas? I'm stumped. Argh.. nothing's ever easy. And
ORBS just emailed me saying I've been added to their list. Great. :-(
Thanks a lot for any assistance..
Regards,
-Reuben
