This time limit has unfortunately escaped my attention. It is not
yet configurable.
The warning message means that postscreen gives up waiting for the
DNS lookup result. This is a safety mechanism.

I see occasional timeouts on residential and co-located servers.
By default the resolver *system library* routines wait 5s before
retrying; this may be configurable in resolv.conf, but the
postscreen time limit is still hard-coded.
