Oh, right. We don't call `dns_init()` at program start, only when we're
about to do something DNS-related for the purpose of mail-routing.
That's ... unfortunate.
I think you're using a DNSxL for checks; I think this because one place
we do call `dns_init()` is from `verify_check_dnsbl()`, so after a DNS
list check, the state is changed.
I'm tempted to just call dns_init() near the start of the program, to
force state to be more consistent for external lookups, because this
sort of ill-defined state is awkward to debug.
