Possibly configuring with:
 --with-ipv6-replacement-libc If system has broken  getaddrinfo() and friends

2000-07-30  Matti Aarnio  <mea@zmailer.org>
	* transports/smtp/getmxrr.c:
	    dnscache by djb produces replies which don't have NS or AD
	    sections, and when scanning replies, we had one-off
	    comparison error which bailed out in case the ANSWER
	    section reached the end of the reply packet.

This fix is included in 2.99.54
