Hi,

I would like to verify recipient address before hitting DNS RBL. But
it seems I'm unable to do this. Am I doing something wrong?

Using 32-bit Postfix 3.6.0-r0 from Alpine inside Docker container.

My main.cf file looks like this:

##### main.cf #####
mydomain=example.net
compatibility_level=3
maillog_file = /dev/stdout
mydestination=$mydomain
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,
                         permit_sasl_authenticated,
                         reject_unauth_destination,
                         reject_unverified_recipient,
                         reject_rbl_client bogons.cymru.com
##### main.cf #####

where bogons.cymru.com is DNS RBL which conveniently blocks docker IP
address (172.17.42.1).

Telnet session (lower in this message) cites the RBL list as a block
reason, and in the mail log (at the very end of this message) I can
see a failed attempt to deliver a probe message (unknown user:
"notauser") before sending a DNS request (Client host [172.17.42.1]
blocked using bogons.cymru.com) - also note a 3 second delay before
this log message.

Am I doing something obviously wrong or can it be a quirk of my local
system (Docker version 1.6.2 on 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04)? If anybody tries
to reproduce it on different configurations - that might be also
helpful.

Thanks in advance!
