Actually, I never ran into that problem you mention. Maybe it's because I've avoided initially the ANY RR DNS request.
Seems to be a remnant from that area.

You know, since some time I've raised 's/qmail' as follow-up project for Qmail (mainly to support IPv6 for all modules + TLS + ....).

Kai Peter and me we've decided to set up a common project called 'aqmail(.org)' which shall include all our experiences.

Regards.
