Oh, sure. Cyrus does a reverse DNS lookup to log the user's domain name to syslog. This adds an overhead to each incoming connection that increases the number of simultaneous connections to the system and may become devastating if there is a problem in external DNS connectivity. We added t

[PATCH] Disable reverse DNS lookups

2010-09-09 Thread Guilherme Manika
  This patch adds a "disablereverselookups" option to imapd.conf that disables reverse DNS lookups in imapd and pop3d.  It doesn't affect other services (lmtp, mupdate, etc.) because they are not Internet-facing services and so do not rely on external DNS to work. That's probably acceptable.Guilher
