I use the tar pitting patch..
There are 2 things you can control.
1. Threshold.
2. Delay.
it changes qmail-smtpd so that after each recipient listed on a message it
may insert a delay.
the delay is as long as you tell it in seconds, and it only happens after
Threshold number of recipients have been listed.
There is very rarely legitimate email with more than 15-20 recipients, So
this works great.
