Unfortunately for me, the email server has only one interface address that is 
used by both public and local users. So, the 'bind' directive would require 
significant reconfiguration of things.

What I was trying to accomplish by sharing the same port between to address 
ranges was to be able to assign particular environmental variables to each 
address range. Setting the 'RELAYCLIENT' variable for the local address range 
enabled relaying for the local users with Qmail's SMTP daemon. Not setting it 
blocked relaying for public users.

I wish there was some way to do this using only xinetd, rather than having to 
install and use the tcpd server. It seems a shame to have to cascade these 
two just to conditionally set some environmental variables. Yuck.

Oh well.

Thanks for you help!
