We highly recommend John Simpson's http://qmail.jms1.net and the validrcptto patch as well. There is actually a group of patches that John Simpson rolled into one.... Many goodies there that can be utilized... He started that as an addon in regards to and with http://www.qmailrocks.org and there is still good info although the site hasn't been as well kept as it could have been the last 6 to 12 months. There are many other items and links to check out on http://qmail.jms1.net as well... If you know and understand everything on that site and a coupla others related to it, you will do extremely well with your mail server overall. Of course, the tie in is that at some point I had to better learn about Spamassassin and joined here for that.
