Hi all,

"Preface"
with the latest qmailtoaster update I see there is a check for valid
sender MX record. I personaly would not want my server to check every
mail that comes to the server for valid DNS. What would happen in a smtp
flood?! I guess the server will check the "fake-sender" dns for every
mail. For a high load server I would not like that behaviour!

What about including the validrcptto patch to check for valid local user
and then accept the message in the mail queue. I have seen that it is
more efficient than the reverse DNS lookup.

So how can I disable the DNS lookup? (tcp.smtp or the qmail-run script?)
The chkuser patch checks the incoming SMTP connection for a valid recipient. If none, it drops connection. If valid, it accept the email, and then with domain keys checks the DNS records (also SPF, etc.). This is why it requires a DNS server on the mail server as well, to speed up this process (or a caching DNS server).
