Hi Stephen,

More of a reason to abandon qmail, also if your not aware, a number of
qmail server are deferring mail lately because of the size header limit,
with more and more sites singing their zones, it's becoming more
apparent, it's not DNSSEC's fault either, qmail has long done this with
other DNS requests,  for more enlightenment, see 
https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations, the thread
is "DNSSEC and qmail"  (the last active thread)

I think it's time you learnt postfix :)

Cheers
