There's a small problem in all this... the maxrcpt patch was written for qmail 1.01.
It does NOT apply on 1.03. I've rewritten this last week, but merged it with other
patches. I'll try to re-separate it from the rest next Monday.

When using RPMS, it's easier to get the SPEC file to apply patches for you.
Just add lines like
Patch0: maxrcpt.patch
Patch1: mfcheck.patch
and so on, after the Source: line (within the header). Then, after the %setup line,
add lines like:
%patch0 -p1
%patch1 -p1
Note: The patch files referred to in the Patch: lines must reside in the
$RPM_SOURCE_DIR.
