Yes, I used Bill Shupp patch on my old Qmail (not qumailtoaster) and it had been running for at least 3 months. No problem at all. The way I set the rule is based on Postgrey standard (the greylisting for Postfix). Their rule is to reject first ever received mail for 300 seconds. Then the rule is valid for the next 33 days. I also used the cronjob to clear the database for maintenance purpose. I also used Bill Shupp patch on my Qmailtoaster. It worked well too. But I removed it after 1 month of using because I start to see complain "missing" mail. This may not be the patch issue because I haven't found the log to confirm it (there were other issues with missing mail that I was facing at that time). The only problem I have with Bill Shupp patch is the management of the greylisting rule, which is in MySQL (while I can use phpmyadmin, but a bit tedious). There should be some userlevel command to let us configure or change settings. Web-based incorporated into qmailadmin would be nice as it can let the user to change their own settings.
