Is the Markus Stumpf patch included in netqmail 1.05?
No. If you read the netqmail readme, it will tell you exactly what
patches are included and what the philosophy was for including them
(hint: the idea wasn't to add a bunch of features).
If the patch is included, would it be optimal to use the patch, or
iptables?
Depends on your definition of "optimal".
Using iptables isn't portable, but doesn't require patching (which is
of course a bonus if you're worried about bugs introduced by
patching). It also doesn't require recompiling. On the other hand, the
patch has lower overhead, and is sufficiently simple to be easy to
validate yourself.
There's an equivalent patch by Felix von Leitner, available here:
