From: Tim Legant <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I downloaded and read through the patch. It does break extension addresses. The exact envelope recipient address must be in the goodrcptto text file or moregoodrcptto.cdb for it to let the message through qmail-smtpd.
I was not aware of this patch previous to Chris's post, but it's really something I need. I got joe-jobbed pretty thoroughly a couple of weeks ago and qmail has no native way to prevent that.
I'm going to look at enhancing the patch so that extension addresses *do* work. I'm thinking about something similar to the qmail-users mechanism, which supports wildcards. That way, you would simply specify something like
=tim +tim-
to handle a plain tim@ or any tim-EXT@ address, while still refusing mail addressed to any non-user of the system. The patch isn't that long and there is plenty of code to borrow from qmail-newu and qmail-local.
I brought this up over on the qmail list, and got a good pointer here: http://untroubled.org/mailfront/ It looks like this package might be a decent solution for the problem, what do you think?
