We actually dont use qpsmtp - as I think I mentioned here on this 
list. We manage several thousand tmda-protected mailboxes, and a 
couple thousand un-protected boxes. For our uses, qpsmtp was not the 
way to go for smtp-time checks, as at the time I looked into it it 
did not scale well and didnt have ssl included (this may have changed 
since when I last looked at it)

We use spamcontrol, located here:

http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/spamcontrol.html

In addition, we have complied in a bunch of custom code using the 
above as a base.

Thanks.
