I was talking about patching upstream, okay? It's not like the patch would have to be individually applied to each installation by its own admin. Patch upstream

  Perhaps "Seems much simpler than patching" was an ambiguous statement. I was only referring to the perspective I take as an admin for one user: me. I already use softlimit on a daily basis so it is simpler for me than patching. To me, it seems like a cleaner solution. The two complete mitigations presented were a choice between (a) using softlimit and the -m setting used by qmail's author versus (b) applying a third party patch to fix problems caused by another third party patch (qmail-verify, which was an "upadte" of yet another third party patch) and third party configuration settings (Debian). I thought that was noteworthy.
