All mailfront plugins that would use ucspi-based environment variables
detect the protocol in use and pick up the right prefix.  I would still
appreciate hearing what actually happens, though.  The add-received
plugin is probably a particularly useful test case.

I'm definitely interested in DCC and what is more clever in the
SpamAssassin plugin, for inclusion in the main package.  The MySQL
logging plugin seems a little too specialized for general inclusion
(though if there is demand I'll add it).  Greylisting is interesting to
many too, so I could add that as well, though I don't particularly like
the idea.

After a qmail lookup, or a CVM lookup?  It sounds useful, though.
