No it doesn't. The Makefile is broken, forget about it.

Because you run it out of "/root" and it is supposed to used ~/tmp if not
told otherwise. You might want to create a special directory for qpsmtpd,
e.g. /opt/qpsmtpd and move qpsmtpd to there. If you then create
/opt/qpsmtpd/tmp and make it owned by the smtpd-user, it should work.

I have no knowledge about xinetd, but i guess there is a generic way in
xinetd to tell it the port. Don't you have any other services in xinetd
and can lookup how its done there?

The last revision of the page can be seen here:
http://wiki.qpsmtpd.org/deploy:inetd?rev=1168341647
It just states, that inetd and xinetd doesn't work.

I guess this is redhat specific.

Quickstart: Get rid of your current installation, unpack the tarball into
/opt/qpsmtpd and create the tmp as described above, then run
qpsmtpd-forkserver from that directory.
