I actually thought of that today on a boring train-trip (train-trips are
mentally and intellectually _very_ productive for me), I was thinking of
something along these lines:
right now, you probably have a line like:
tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 31 -g 30 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
(logging and some paths left out)
We could replace that with something similar to:
tcpserver -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u 31 -g 30 o smtp /var/qmail/bin/tcp-domcheck -x
/etc/dom.smtp.cdb /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd
where tcp-domcheck is a small tool that does the domain checking as you
describe. Perhaps a bit easier than patching it in.

Hmm then we have 2 dutch ISPs actively coding qmail stuff :) (we're the other
one :)
I think it'd be dead easy to do.
