This patch is only for qmail-1.02. Numerous people have asked whether
there is a 1.03 version. Nope. Anyone is of course welcome to take
this code and make it work for 1.03. I don't plan to.

The extra CPU probably comes from reading the control file, not the
pattern matching. By default the control file is read in blocks of 64
bytes which can mean a lot of reads on a large badmailpatterns
file. Just change the 64 in control.c to something like 2048 redo the
installation and you'll most likely see a significant drop in CPU.
Final note. I have no access to that server anymore so I have no idea
how long that patch will remain there.
