Please clear something for me. On this post under the heading "50% Spam reduction", there has been two suggestions:

(1) Apply a patch by Erwin Hoffman: http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/qmail.html

(2) The same results can be obtained by running something like:

       tcpserver 0 25 sh -c "sleep $GREETDELAY; exec qmail-smtpd"

Which one is the preferred method?

There is a difference. The first will disconnect if there is data sent before the greeting. The second will *not* disconnect if there is data sent before the greeting. There's also, if I remember right, a qmail-delay program somewhere on the web that provides the same service as the first option, just in a more configurable way.
