Hello, Folks--
I have a couple of questions about the control/badmailfrom file:
1) As long as it's readable by qmail, does its ownership matter?
2) Which part of qmail needs to read it? My quick scan of the docs
says qmail-smtpd is the only thing that looks at control/badmailfrom,
but I'd like to double-check.
3) Will control/badmailfrom take regexes or any other form of pattern
matching besides the simple "@host" that matches all addresses at
a given host? Since it appears not, are there any patches to
enable this?
4) After altering it, I don't need to restart anything, right?
Hope these questions aren't too simple. Thanks.

>From the Jargon File: (v4.0.0, 25 Jul 1996)
scram switch /n./
[from the nuclear power industry] An emergency-power-off switch (see
Big Red Switch), esp. one positioned to be easily hit by evacuating
personnel. In general, this is *not* something you frob lightly;
these often initiate expensive events (such as Halon dumps) and are
installed in a dinosaur pen for use in case of electrical fire or
in case some luckless field servoid should put 120 volts across
himself while Easter egging.
