I want to use qmail to send outgoing mail through a smarthost, searching fo=
r this seems to suggest its possible with a patch to qmail.

There was a patch here: http://www.ingorohloff.de/soft/qmail.html (link dea=
d) internet archive here https://web.archive.org/web/20150616072925/http://=
www.ingorohloff.de/soft/qmail.html
This patch seems to be old, 2004

another patch is here
https://tomclegg.ca/qmail/#qmail-remote-auth
which also seems to be old.

other patches here
https://notes.sagredo.eu/en/qmail-notes-185/patching-qmail-82.html#auth
seem to be newer

https://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html
seems to be the most current patch

My questions:
* Is a patch still required?
* If so are there any patches that are recommended?
* If this is an out of the box feature, could it be added to the FAQ?
