Hello!

I am using 0.73.1-1.6

A monitoring program called "Monit" checks port 25 on localhost.  
Courier listens only on localhost on this server.

Monit sends:
EHLO localhost
QUIT

Source code:
https://bitbucket.org/tildeslash/monit/src/8584ce1f0a2af60ca615e126c37284238d611e29/src/notification/SMTP.c?at=master&fileviewer=file-view-default#SMTP.c-193:216

Rarely it times out after 5 seconds. This incident is several months old.

1) Could failed DNS lookups be the reason?

PTR? 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa.
A? localhost.
AAAA? localhost.

2) Is it possible for Courier to skip DNS lookups for "localhost"?

I wonder why Courier is not using gethostbyname().
/etc/hosts contains:
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost

Thank you!
