You have a very charming way of asking for help. Also of not reading readily and freely available documentation. Start with the home page for ucspi-tcp. Documents every option of every program in the package. http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html If that is too obtuse for you, try David Sill's excellent "Life With qmail", linked to from the qmail.org page. http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html If you find that too difficult, follow some of the other links concerning "anti-relaying" from the qmail.org page. There are several. All of which offer complete descriptions for setting up tcpserver. If you still can't figure it out, hire a 12 year old.
