smtpd is not a daemon.  smtpd is started from listen.
so what you do is ... nothing.

1.  copy /n/sources/contrib/quanstro/src/nupas to your system.
at coraid, this source lives at /sys/src/cmd/upas.
2.  "mk install". this will install into /$objtype/bin/nupas by default.
there's a stub mkfile (mkupas) at the top level that you can edit to
install it elsewhere.
3.  take a look at the files in nupas/bits.  you'll want to update
validatesender.

i went to a lot of trouble to be as compatable as possible with the
old system.  so there's this wild theory that everything should
"just work".  ☺
