qmail relies on certain environment variables being set to do its job
(logging, Received: tracking, etc) properly. Regular inetd doesn't set these
variables; that's why tcp-env is necessary. I don't know if xinetd supports
djb's variables, but I doubt it.
Using inetd/xinetd is deprecated, anyways. Switch to tcpserver.
