i'm grateful that qmail is security bug free. but i have the need to
control
the max number of recipients per email and to prevent broken ms SMTP
servers from bringing my servers to their knees, etc.
while i wrote a similar "enhancement" to qmail to control max rcpt's to what
was on the qmail.org site (before i knew to cruise the site for good stuff),
i wouldn't want to do that for things like big todo "patch" and perhaps the
big concurrancy "patch".
if i had a few or ten thousand users, i'd gladly use qmail "out of the box."
i'd have someone watch the logs 24/7 and if they see too many connections
from one IP, block them with a tcpserver rule. unfortunately i have too
many servers and too many users to be doing that. i need the help that
others have provided to assist qmail be accepted and usable in many
heterogeneous real world environments.
