`kumo.dns.configure_resolver{PARAMS}`

Since: Version 2023.08.22-4d895015

The functionality described in this section requires version 2023.08.22-4d895015 of KumoMTA, or a more recent version.

By default, KumoMTA will parse the system resolver configuration and use that to drive its internal caching Hickory DNS resolver.

This function allows you to configure DNS resolving differently from your system configuration.

Note

This function should be called only from inside your init event handler.

PARAMS is a lua table with the following fields:

name_servers - required; a list of name servers. Each entry can be either a simple string of the form "IP:PORT" or can be a lua table that allows specifying the protocol that should be used.
domain - optional; the local dns domain name to append to names. Note that MX resolution in KumoMTA always appends a trailing . to the names from the envelope addresses so this setting should be irrelevant for MX resolution.
search - optional; list of additional search domains. Note that MX resolution in KumoMTA always appends a trailing . to the names from the envelope addresses so this setting should be irrelevant for MX resolution.
options - a lua table listing out additional resolver options. The possible names, values and meanings are documented in the hickory DNS resolver ResolverOpts documentation
