qmail-initcontrol - a helper program that looks up TCPREMOTEIP and
TCPREMOTEHOST in a file-based map of regexps to delays.  This way,
it's easy to reconfigure without having to recompile or restart the
service.  It's also easy to add whitelisting to the map.

Combined with the feedback of immediately dropping remote smtp
connections from IP addresses who have started the smtp conversation
before receiving the greeting, this has reduced the load significantly
and reduced the amount of spam filtering that has to be done.

Of course, YMMV.
