So, I finally got qpsmtpd working, it was actually very easy. Now I'm
going to make my sysadmin actually install it for the company spam
filtering. One of the ideas he had for filtering was to throttle people
who sent more than two or three emails to addresses that didn't exist.
I thought this would be a fairly easy plugin to write, but I had a
couple of concerns. First I wanted to ask if it already existed
someplace?
Secondly, we would be using qpsmtpd merely as a front end to an already
running mail daemon (I think it's postfix), so I would need some way
for
qpsmtpd to consult the mail daemon to decide if the address was valid
or
not.
Can anyone suggest me some documentation to read for those problems?
You could adapt the plugin I hacked together at the end of my article:

It's designed for rate limiting hosts on dnsbl's, but you could easily
modify for invalid accounts.
