I would be really surprised about that. In fact, djb stopped the qmail<br>
and djbdns development.</blockquote><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, sans-serif;">He's stated a new release will come out, and will be backed by a new $1000 reward. I'll take him at his word for now. If nothing shows up I'll patch the 1.05 release we have.</span></div>

There is one that mimics BIND behaviour for missing domains that makes the authoritative server more RFC compliant. I'll look to adding that one, assuming DJB doesn't alter the current behaviour in the new release.</span></div>
