In the latest revision of forkserver (601) there's a new plugin, which
hooks pre-connection: hosts_allow. This allows to have hosts/networks
not to send mail (and of course exclude some hosts in a blocked
network). It drops the connection before forking with an SMTP error.
Oh: you now need to include this plugin anyway if you want the "max
connections from one ip" working...
