well, you just modify your startup script to include part of the line
above... if you have any shell scripting knowledge whatsoever, it should
be fairly easy for you to figure out how to make the proper modifications.
there's a third that doesn't require patching qmail and is more powerful
than the sleep, and that is greetdelay:

I've been using it for a while and it works exactly as advertised. I
can't comment on its effectiveness at stopping spam, but it does what it
says it does :)
