Am I wrong in thinking that qmail can be left alone by simply adding a
mechanism to be employed in the same manner as rblsmtp is now?

rblsmtpd can reject the message based on the connection's IP address,
before the SMTP conversation (qmail-smtpd) begins.  SPF can't do that;
it has to wait for the "EHLO" (or "HELO") and the "MAIL FROM:".  So
it would have to be a patch/replacement for qmail-smtpd, much like
SMTP AUTH is.


You're right.  I didn't follow that through.  I just saw the dns query and ran 
with it.
