--- Comment #6 from Henrik Krohns <apa...@hege.li> ---
Would need some cleaning up, but no time to look for 4.0.0. Is there _really_
demand for this feature, when resolvers are configurable pretty much
everywhere.. postponing..


There is demand out there I am sure, with recent changes to some RBL operators policies, and things like DoH out in the wild.

There can be cases where certain RBL's are blocked from queries at the upstream provider.

Just an opinion.. Sometimes SA administrators may not have operational control over resolver decisions.

I think it would be irresponsible to put this in SA and that it would cause more trouble than it can be worth.

Mail systems should use local caching resolvers under common control with the mail system. They SHOULD NOT use any resolver with 'safety' features designed to protect end users by breaking resolution. They SHOULD NOT use unaccountable free resolvers. FOR ANYTHING.

This sort of thing belongs in a dedicated resolver with forwarding options like dnsmasq or unbound, NOT in SA. I don't think we should be providing support for systems that are fundamentally misdesigned in order to make the use of a 3rd-party resolver a top priority.
