I am answering to your claim that Rspamd won't send more requests than Postfix.

This is the default for Abusix users if they will implement their recommendations.

Come on I *never* made this claim. I was just answering to your claim that "there should be 0 difference in plain numbers".

If you activate only combined.mail.abusix.zone in Rspamd then your claim is correct. But who would do that?

If I would have claimed what you imply, then yes, but I didn't claim that.

> Of course, you can equally check **just** the `combined` zone in Rspamd and have exactly the same number of DNS requests.

see above.
