First of all, I’d like to “thank” The Spamhaus project which forced me into hacking this feature in a hurry. See, I rent a server at online.

When we first started working on OpenSMTPD, we planned for future features but we did not necessarily start integrating them right away as the goal was to bootstrap the project first with basic features.
