I'm using this docker container for a internal only e-mail server and I've got a lot of timeouts/log entries from postscreen/dnsblog like these:

The question is: Is there any way to disable the dnsblog feature completly or empty the dnsbl_sites variable? Switching the ACTION envvar won't do it because it still performs the lookups and it takes nearly 5-10 seconds to send an internal e-mail because of this.
