[Dnsmasq-discuss] Localhost reverse lookups

[gypsy]

I don't know which to blame, my SMTP server or dnsmasq, but the
following should NEVER happen:
> May  5 04:50:34 dnsmasq[8766]: query[A] 1.0.0.127.dnsbl.ahbl.org from 127.0.0.1
> May  5 04:50:34 dnsmasq[8766]: cached 1.0.0.127.dnsbl.ahbl.org is <NXDOMAIN>-IPv4
> May  5 04:50:34 dnsmasq[8766]: query[A] 1.0.0.127.combined.njabl.org from 127.0.0.1
> May  5 04:50:34 dnsmasq[8766]: forwarded 1.0.0.127.combined.njabl.org to 68.65.16.162
> May  5 04:50:36 dnsmasq[8766]: reply 1.0.0.127.combined.njabl.org is <NXDOMAIN>-IPv4

Can't dnsmasq know that a reverse dns lookup of 127.0.0.0/8 should never
be forwarded?!  Isn't localhost localhost, no matter how one asks about
it?

I have no idea what the correct behavior should be, but I am dead
certain that forwarding is not correct behavior.

The Bad Thing That Happens is that the SMTP server says:
> May  5 04:5 /smtp[20083]: 702A76D002C: to=<gypsy@localhost.me.tld>, relay=none, delay=29, status=deferred (Name service error for localhost: Host not found, try again)

If this can be fixed, please do.
