Andre mentioned that he was interested in local patches that people used at
their qmail-ldap sites, for possible inclusion in future releases. Here are
my outstanding patches:

* Count messages in the Trash toward quota (compile-time option)
  qmail-quota-include-trash.patch
* Add the remote IP address to the relay-denied error message (very helpful
  - instead of having our helpdesk try to get the user's IP address out of
  them, they usually get it when the user calls in with the error message).
  qmail-add-remoteip-to-relaydenied.patch
* Add the local machine's hostname to message acceptance message. This is
  really useful when you have multiple machines behind a layer 4 switch,
  when the same "remote hostname" might be a dozen machines.  Most MTAs log
  the acknowledgement message, so it's much easier to track down what host a
  message hit.
  qmail-smtpd-ackmessage-hostname.patch
* Latest moreipme patch - almost a requirement for operating behind a layer
  4 switch.

* Latest qmail-0.0.0.0 patch with loopback support - Linux (for example)
  will answer all requests on 127/8 if the loopback interface has a /8 mask.
  Some spammers have MX records that return IP addresses within 127/8,
  causing massive mail loops.

* IP-based POP3 virtual hosts
  qmail-ldap-virtualpop3-20020901.patch
* Add a Status: header to messages retrieved via POP. I don't know who wrote
  this, but googling for it will probably turn it up. If not, I can always
  post a copy.
  qmail-pop3d-status.patch
* Sync file metadata along with the file itself (by syncing the directory).
  I believe this is required when running qmail on Linux due to differing
  file semantics as compared to the *BSDs.
