My smtpd has refused a few messages (including one from 9fans),
apparently because dns couldn't resolve the sender's domain
within 60 seconds. Looking back through the logs, this is a
new phenomenon. This is the quick fix I'm using (relative
to /sys/src/cmd/ndb):
: cpu; diff `{yesterday dns.c} .

< req.aborttime = now + 60; /* don't spend more than 60 seconds */

the 'sender domain must resolve' quagmire. i know why you'd want
to do it, but it's not fail safe (unlike the RBL). n * 60 -- how
do you choose n? or do you just rip it out?
