The number of DNS lookups triggered by this test message is pretty much
what can be expected from real life mail. It is not unusual that some
messages trigger even more lookups, although most messages do with
a bit less.

Right. This needs to be documented. Is there a system requirements
document somewhere? I checked the wiki and I find it pretty much
disorganized, stale and not helpful (I know, I know, the purpose
of a wiki is to go there and fix it...)
> 3) Just close the bug and let the bug be the documentation.
It is a (lack of) documentation bug anyway, should be resolved somehow.
