Which patches have you applied to qmail. Because djb's qmail source
code does not check mysql.

This is not part of djb's qmail distribution. What patches to qmail
did you apply?
Why not put your users and domains in /var/qmail/users/assign and
compile
that with qmail-newu into a cdb file. That way you can do whatever you
want for email delivery and not have to worry about patching the qmail
source code.
>From my own experience looking over the qmail source code, there is
almost no reason to patch it. It provides many modular options
to add features without changing the base source code. I prefer to
add small external programs to make my wacky delivery options.
Let's all think about software engineering.
