Plugins

These plugins are used daily by the Flarenet ISP mail server, but I have not submitted them to the Qpsmtpd maintainers. As always, use these plugins at your own risk. They work for me, but as far as I know I'm the only one using them.

check_badpatterns

Use the existing badmailpatterns and badrcptpatterns control files from the SPAMCONTROL patch.

check_domain_regexp

Compares the reverse DNS (the host/domain name) against a collection of regular expressions.

check_goodrcptto

Allow (or white-list) certain email RCPT TO email addresses or users. This is useful for allowing postmaster and abuse mail through.

rblsmtpd_env

Mimics rblsmtpd functionality with respect to the RBLSMTPD environment variable.
