Hello to everybody,

while we use the option "reject_unknown_helo_hostname" we noticed, that
single hostnames will be rejected without contacting the dns-servers.
After some debugging of the source code we got to this line:

226 _res.options &= ~saved_options;

where the flag "RES_DEFNAMES" will be negated and so no
domain-information will be added to the hostname.

We would like to know why "saved_options" is negated here. Shouldn't it
only be a logical AND?

Is there any option to control "RES_DEFNAMES" from the configuration-file?

In my opinion it is only useful to negate saved_options if
"reject_unknown_helo_hostname" covers the option
"reject_non_fqdn_helo_hostname". Am I correct?

Great Regards,
Timo Schilling
