Pine does not support maildir, but the patch works well. Without
patching, you could use pinq from qmail to create a mbox from the
maildir on startup. Jucky solution - why not use the pine patch? I've
used pine 3.96 here with patch for some time - now the 4.10 one
mentioned second www.qmail.org. There is an imap there as well. Not
tried, but same library - so should work.
Sender domain check, i.e. "MAIL FROM: at the smtp level" or From:
header parsing if IMHO a frightful waste of resources, and a reason for
bouncing mail that is perfectly legitimate (albeit syntactically
flawed). Use rbl and relay.radparker.com instead. Those approaches make
sense.
Address rewriting: Set QMAILUSER/QMAILHOST correctly and get people to
configure their MTA correctly (memo from boss: I will fire everyone who
does not ...). I don't know how to rewrite e.g. From: headers with
qmail.
