David, the way the validrcptto patch for qmail works is this, you have a file in the /var/qmail/controls/ called validrcptto in that file you specify all your valid email address that your server accepts emails for. During the smtp handshake the smtp checks the rcptto filed and checks it against the validrcptto file if a match is made then it accepts the message, if not then it drops the connection right then without reading the rest (body) of the message. This patch had cut my qmail servers load down by about 80% and then thats not even taking a look at the network load that is saved.
>From that you can see why I want to keep the validrcptto patch and at the same time use TMDA, TMDA is great and I would like to get it working again. Yes I have the .qmail-default there however when tmda sends the challeng it appends the time stamp to the confirmation address... [EMAIL PROTECTED] as an example, that address is not in the validrcptto file only [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thats why I asked if there was a way to append the confirm address to the validrcptto file and then clean it out when the time expired.
