I wrote a plugin just like this using the LDAP domain check plugin as the
template. What I don't have is the forwarding to big Papa feature. IMHO, that
might be better as another plugin after passing spam checks. But I'm not the
expert.

Global blacklists is done. Look at the check_spamhelo and check_badmailfrom

The web front end is totally separate from qpsmtpd. My grand scheme was to use
Drupal+LDAP modules to do the web frontend. I've worked with Drupal enough to
do this, just never taken the time to do it. Maybe someone else has other
suggestions for a web frontend?

I'm nothing special as a coder, so I'm certain you can do it. LDAP isn't as
popular a database to connect to as PostgreSQL/whatever, but works for me.
