I'll investigate this.  I'm using tinydns, and I seem to recall that TTL
isn't overly configurable.

But even if it's not, will that matter?  When would Courier need to know
the resolution of the "A" record for the domain part of an email address
that it's serving?  And recall that the "MX" record for this user
remains constant (it points to this same Courier server).

Also ... if it turns out that I would have to restart Courier in this
case, is "courier restart" sufficient, or would I have to restart all of
the Courier-related daemons?

Thanks.
