[DNSOP] qmail misuses the DNS standards

2015-03-13 Thread Brian Dickson
TL;DR: I've read DJB's messages about qmail's clever design. IMHO, qmail's use of DNS has always optimized for the wrong thing. What it should be optimizing, is client queries to the recursive server. Fixing that should be relatively simple, and would happen to make the CloudFlare deprecation of

According to their own statement, Cloudflare perceived the "problem" to be the code-complexity of their DNS implementation -- in particular, they characterized the complexity of their (former) QTYPE=*-handling code as "enormous". Their "fix" was to feign ignorance (RCODE=NOTIMP) of QTYPE=* and
