You create the files manually, and yes, they do just contain numbers. For
example:
# echo 10 > /var/qmail/control/tarpitcount
# echo 5 > /var/qmail/control/tarpitdelay
This would give you a 5-second delay for every recipient after the tenth.

Add some more RCPT TOs, at least one more than your tarpitcount. If you notice
a delay, it's working.
