>>set 'dns_available no' "dns_available" tells SA whether or not to assume that DNS is working without actually having to stop and to extra time-consuming tests to see if DNS is working. So setting this to "no" doesn't actually save any time. It only increases time. Also, as I understand it, use of DCC and Razor requires minimal DNS resolution to figure out the IP address of the DCC and/or Razor servers, which, of course, I DO want to continue happening... it is all **other** DNS-stuff that I want turned off

I've programmed my own spam filter, where I do all my URI (surbl, uribl), IP-based (rbl), and nRDNS looksups... so I don't want any of these done in SA... I know that I have most of these turned off in SA, but I just want to get anything else turned off, particular rDNS lookups.
