Default qmail logging and IP throttling

Hi,



With: #cat /var/log/qmail/current|tai64nlocal|more

I can see that an outside spammer is forging From headers by using an inexistent anonymous@mydomain.com email address.

However, I can not see his IP in my qmail log and I would like to implement easy tracing solution. Can someone point to
the right qmail patch?

I am also thinking to collect this IP's addressed to or from non-existent local users and throttle their delivery to a
very slow rate (few bits per second). Had anyone implemented this?

Is there any implementation to collect this kind of IP's in a MySQL database?

How can I implement an automatic reporting system to and automatically submit this spam messages to abuse.net, RBL or
similar?




Thank you,

Chris P.
