BIND 9.9.4 and its immediately preceding "beta" and "release
candidate" releases are the first versions of BIND that were not
"patched."  Some third parties including FreeBSD and a Linux
distributor added RRL patches to their versions, but those BIND+RRL
versions differed from any other version of BIND+RRL patch only by
someone else having applied the patch.

That sounds unrelated to RRL.  Again, RRL affects standards compliant
DNS clients no more than a 50% packet loss rate on the path from the
DNS client and to the server.  If your mail system suffered hostname
lookup failures, then I think something else was broken.

Recall that the design goals of RRL include contining to provide
services to legitimate DNS clients at the same IP address as are
being forged in a DNS reflection DoS attack.
