Yup.

Could be this host, the network, the host that your resolv.conf points to,
or (I think) further up the DNS hierachy for the lookup.

In any case, a defer at the SMTP layer as a result of a TRY_AGAIN in a
DNS operation seems entirely appropriate; the sending MTA should
retry later.

If it's a persistent problem then ther sending user will eventually get a bounce, and
hopefully involve mail-admins, who in turn should involve dns-admins.

- add an acl control "dkim_disable_verify"
- in a ACL *before* data
- preferably in an ACL path only applying to these problem messages.
