Salvatore, Even if I install this patch.. it's still gonna apply only when it reaches qmail and not before. QS is working before qmail is working and so this won't do much good.
Am I wrong?
You can find some documentation in the source of qmail, whe a mail arrives qmail (understood as a group of programs) deal it more or less in this way:
1) tcp-server open a socket, recieves tcpremoteip, checks tcp.smtp.cdb, accept or not and sets some enviroment variables.
2) rblsmtpd is called (if it is configured)
3) qmail-smtpd starts his dialog gets the DATA, checks badmailfrom (and other stuff, databytes, rcpthosts...) and invokes qmail-queue (or what it set in the enviroment variabile), doesn't close the connection
4) qmail-queue get the messages and try to save it to disk, or qmail-scanner does some scanner. If it returns and exit 0, qmail-smtpd close the connection, and the message go ahead to qmail-send. Or if it returns an error code qmail-smtpd answer the remote server that there is some kind of problem.
5) At this point qmail-send read the file from the disk and starts a local o remote delivery, if it is a local delivery it search for the user...
So I think that that patch would work in step 3, so qmail-scanenr won't receive the messages.
I'm sorry if I have annoyed you with all of this...
