Here there be dragons. (Also known as "Been there, done that").

For various reasons I can't reject spam on the incoming mailhost, but
I'd like to tag likely Mails with something like

X-Spam-Tag: type blacklist field From origin rzrub trigger 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] action complain issuer sunu450.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de

I jumped onto 5.5, put

:allow,RELAYCLIENT="@UCEcheck",DENYMAIL="DNSCHECK"

into my rules file, and was happy for an hour.

Then I noticed that I just had started relaying for everyone.
Why do you think the env var is named "RELAYCLIENT" ?

I plugged this in the script, but someone used me to do
relay-rejecting spam :-(

I now see only two possibilities:

1. Two instances of qmail.
2. A patch to qmail-smtpd, introducing NORELAYCLIENT.

Actually I did 2., but I still have to check the effects ...

Anybody got a better idea?

Jost
