since smtpd runs as none if you're starting it from listen in
the typical way, i was going to suggest that a process running
as none might not have sufficient permissions to mount
/srv/ratify.  however on my system this isn't the case.

i suppose that you could break out the big hammer and
add "ls -l /srv", "mount /srv/ratify mail/ratify" to your tcp25
script.

if you're trying to stop spam, the new upas/smtp(d?) is
compatable with the old upas.  i find the hacks there
to be necessary to avoid getting several hundred spams/
day.  there are also some changes that allow the validatesender
script to call spamhaus and/or spf.  it's all in the contrib
package nupas or you can pull out the bits you want
