Mailfront is here:

	http://untroubled.org/mailfront/

I've written some plugins for starttls, greylisting, DCC, dmarc, and
so forth that I will put on the web if I can ever figure out how
github works.

Each copy of mailfront only handles one connection, so you have to run
it from tcpserver, part of the old djb ucspi-tcp package, which
includes tcprules, which lets you maintain tables of special handling
rules for various IP addresses.  An updated version for IPv6 called
ucspi-tcp6 is (or will shortly be, we're picking bugs from it) here:

	http://www.fehcom.de/ipnet/ucspi-tcp6.html

Tcpserver is typically run from daemontools, a remarkably robust
package that hasn't changed since 2001:

http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html

This is a simple design but due to the way it passes config options
along as environment variables, it's remarkably flexible.  You can,
for example, easily set up IP-specific rules for snarky SMTP responses
to particular envelope senders.
