Recipient validation for example is very important, how and at what stage of the smtp dialogue is it done in Qmail? I would probably have to spend quite some hours to find the anwser. Time is expensive, I only have a limited supply of it. (^-^)
Hello Sandy, I use qmail, but still lots to learn (including postfix, I'm very interested). Regarding the recipient validation, the patched qmail will drop any connection to non-existence user at the smtp level. So, the spam hasn't enter the system yet, conserving bandwidth and cpu power.
That's it! And not only that. In order to spammers not to aprehend the mail accounts, if you want, you can configure it so that moving to a "receive all" mails suspected to be spam. But the best thing is Maildir boxes. Many people wrote out that its algorithm is simply genious. Well, I don't know if this still goes, but this very mail list is ezmlm, the qmail module for mailing lists... Any can give me any notice referred to this? At least, Spanish SuSE list was ezmlm... I don't know if actually is qmail or someone changed it for another program, but it was qmail before, that's a really true.
