Yes which is a testimate to qmail's flexibility. You can easily customize
the response codes as well as the SIZE/recipient verification in the control
files.

Look at http://develooper.com/code/qpsmtpd/ it is a drop in replacement for
the smtpd daemon written in perl (ever want to write your own plugin to a
mail server? here is the framework).

  Yahoo-MTA is based on Qmail, but bares little resemblance to Qmail
now.  It looks like every single SMTP response has been changed, except
for "354 go ahead".  Plus, Yahoo-MTA supports SIZE and recipient
verification.
