Yeah! we'd love to see that code! I'm doing the firewall thingie because
we had the same problem --- hundreds of parallel smtpd's and no mail
getting delivered.

Question: how would the tarpit daemon handle SMTP Auth? this is a feature
we need to support.. yes the thought of using epoll() also occurred to
me.. perhaps if you released the source it could be improved on? :)
