Yup.  AOL is using DNS replies > 512 bytes.  Dan Bernstein said in
July '97, "Dozens of programs enforce the same limit. A site cannot,
as a practical matter, go beyond 512 bytes."  Apparently, AOL has
decided to put on the 800LB gorilla suit, and force people to fix
these dozens of programs.  Or at least their mailer anyway.

http://www.ckdhr.com/ckd/qmail-103.patch is one possible fix.
http://www.qmail.org/big-dns-patch is another.
