Use xinetd or init.d to restart qmail?

I just went through a crazy weekend of wrestling with qmail. It would show as running, but not accept connections.

Finally my ISP told me to do the follwoing:

1) Stop using the /etc/init.d/qmail restart command
2) Rename /etc/xinetd.d/smtp.psa to smtp_psa
3) Use /etc/init.d/xinetd restart to bounce qmail

I have a few quesitons around this and would appreciate any anwers or a link to a site that explains it.

1) When I click restart form the Plesk console, which command is executed?

2) When I run "/sbin/chkconfig --list" it shows qmail as active with all the regular services AND under xinetd services. Is the init.d version or the xinetd version going to start if I reboot my server?

3) Which is the preferred configuration?

I am on Fedro Core 2 with Plesk 7.5.4. I appreciate the help!
