Hi, your conversion from tcpserver's rules file to tcpsvd's instructions
directory looks fine, I note a difference in how you start up tcpserver
and tcpsvd though: for tcpserver you use the -u and -g options to have
the qmail-smtpd process chain started as non root.  Does it help if you
add the -uqmaild option to tcpsvd in the run file to do the same?

This tells that for this connection qmail-smtpd, the checkpassword
program, or maybe $QMAILQUEUE, exited with return code 1.  I don't know
the patches you applied to qmail, so I'm not sure.  Maybe you can enable
logging somehow to find out why `/Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/qmail-smtpd
/Programs/Qmail/1.03/bin/checkpassword /bin/true` fails and exits 1.
