in ldap setting anv variable RCPTCHECK.

not really, and not yet (as it seems).

I didn't research alternatives, but are under the impression that there
are non off the shelf - BUT the problem has hit me, too ;-)

Well... I thought of the following things that could be done to reduce
the server load (needs profiling, of course):

- rewrite qmail-scanner in Python

  I don't like the config mechanism of qmail-scanner, too, and python
  scripts can be compiled, thereby not recompiling the whole stuff over
  and over on startup.

- rewrite qmail-scanner in some other language

  I would do this only if the former approach were unsuccessful.
  But using a bigger machine would probably be one of the cheapest
  solutions 8-(


Best,
