As ISP you can't drop mails because of coming from an open relay that easy.
There may be and will be valid emails affected. So tagging gives your users
the ability to decide themselves (they'll most likely have a nice web
interface, for us they don't have shell access) what to do with these mails.
The patch just introduces the ability to tag mails. It does not change
qmail-ldap's "normal" behaviour. You can for example block all hosts in
outputs.orbs.org (via ~/control/rbllist) and only tag all mails in
dialups.mail-abuse.org (via ~/control/rbltags). It is you decision what to
do with these tagged mails, bouncing, just deleting or whatever.
