I know I wasn't suggesting that, but to be clear:
20050622
Cleanup: the DNS lookup code now accommodates name server
replies longer than 4 kbytes, with a hard upper limit of
32kbytes. For safety reasons, the number of MX host addresses
that the SMTP client will try was reduced from unlimited
to just 5, so that Postfix won't spend forever trying to
connect to dozens and dozens of bogus MX hosts. Files:
dns/dns_lookup.c, global/mail_params.h.
