The problem: I needed to integrate a qmail-ldap server into a cluster of Netscape/Iplanet Messaging servers. However, qmail-ldap will only transfer mail between cluster nodes using QMQP, which is not a protocol that Netscape Messaging Server (or pretty much any other mail server, as far as I know) can speak.
The solution: The qmail-smtpc patch. Basically, I've taken the qmail-qmqpc.c file and merged in the SMTP-speaking parts of qmail-remote.c, along with a bit of extra code to glue them together. I've also modified qmail-lspawn.c so that it uses the new qmail-smtpc module instead of the old qmail-qmqpc module.
The patch: is here Current version is qmail-smtpc-1.03-20020901-20020909. It is to be patched against qmail 1.03 and qmail-ldap 20021001. (Yes, this is correct - there are no changes needed to this patch against last month's qmail-ldap release).

Brief instructions:
NOTE: as of patch 20020724, the Makefile has changed slightly. You now have to enable clustering and the SMTPC features manually, after the patch has been applied.
