It's not disabled as such, it's merely not implemented in the standard
product for a variety of reasons - one of which is that the design
does not lend itself readily to expn (but there are good privacy
reasons too).
Having said that, there are patches to do this and a search of the
archives should reveal where they are.

It sounds like you'll be adding non-standard code to both ends of this
solution so why not do something more specific that doesn't involve
patching qmail, such as a protected access web page? Or a protected
access finger port? Or a periodic rsync of the user list?
