Hi!
I made a patch to qmail-1.02 to have regular expressions in
.../control/locals. This avoids the need to put every host in the local
domain into that file. I think it is stable, but Your mileage may vary.
I haven't testet it under heavy load, it depends on how fast the regexec
function is. Maybe it could be faster than the old hash-function when
dealing with a large amount of hostnames, but I am not sure.
Now case ignoring extended regular expression are allowed in locals. And
if you prepend a regular expression with "!", it is negated. Order is now
important, the first match counts. Doing it this way you can have a
general regex for your domain and before that a special one excepting
some hostnames.
Please send any comments to me via personal mail.
P.S.: my SYSTYPE is linux-2.2.12-:i386-:-:ppro-:-
