> BTW: Why does qmail-remote not use /etc/hosts ?
I know of 2 reasons off-hand:
1. /etc/hosts doesn't have anything like MX records, and a host might
be listed in /etc/hosts that doesn't actually accept its own mail.
2. The functions that use /etc/hosts in the standard library aren't
available, since Dan doesn't use the standard library (for
security and space reasons).
