is rumored to have said:

I thought that's an ideal role for Dnsmasq, I primarily want to use the existing resolver whilst spoofing some queries, which is something that
Pi-hole uses Dnsmasq for.

I'm not familiar with how Pi-hole is architected (I do basically the same with a BIND RPZ) but the usual deployment of Dnsmasq uses forwarding to an external resolver rather than doing fully independent recursion to resolve names on its own. Forwarding DNS queries from a mail server to a general-purpose remote resolver is unsafe for an MTA that uses public reputation services such as DNSBLs and URIBLs.
