Yes, and I agree.
I solved this problem by patching qmail-smtpd to do
the actual rejection of connections, based on
$RBLSMTPD. If RBLSMTPD is set, it will only accept
mail to addresses listed in control/rblrcpts. All
others will be rejected with the error message in
$RBLSMTPD.
Then I added an option to rblsmtpd ("-e") which
would cause it to exec the real smtpd in any case,
but set the RBLSMTPD environment variable if
$TCPREMOTEIP was listed.
It's not a major hack, but I think I would have to
redo the work to a stock smtpd, before I could
publish patches. If there's enough interest, I'll
post them.
