A simple solution if you have an extra machine.. install qmail on a new box... put it into your DMZ to collect mail. You then set a simple smtproute to forward all mail to your inner mail server's ip.
qmail is outdated. qmail doesn't check for available users before accepting a mail and thus always sends bounces. qmail isn't available for centos. qmail hasn't seen any updates since way back when. qmail can only be made into a more modern MTA with tons of patches.
nothing beats qmail's dot-qmail delivery mechanism. I would not put plain qmail on an mx host but I definitely would not write it off for other mail uses.
