I had another thought about this and I believe you are right. I noticed that fetchmail got slow, but I didn't associate this with smail. But xconsole shows, that during fetchmail my local caching only nameserver learns hostnames. So despite turning of this feature, smail *does* check the DNS. I'll have another look at this and will probably file a bugreport. BTW: which package has libpcap ? This one is missing in tcpdump's "Depends:" line. Another bugreport I guess.
