I was skeptical, because I saw many rejections of the same type while
service on the host was otherwise fine. I looked in my BIND logs,
and found that lcplin.org lookups in particular were failing for about a
day with some inscrutable (to me) DNSSEC issue. They eventually got
themselves sorted, and messages are good again.

In my defense, their getting their zone sorted was contemporaneous with
me changing Postfix settings.

Thanks for the education, and sorry about the noise.
