Actually, I'm fairly certain it's also exercised if you run spamd as root.
Because I am one of the people who reported it.
(Basicly, it issues hostname with parameters expecting to get the full
hostname, but hostname on Solaris sets the hostname to whatever the first
parameter is).
I had 'fixed' the problem here by hard-coding our host name into the
Sys::Hostname::Long module.

Right. The issue is with installation-time tests, not rules. There's a bug
in a low-level Perl module that's only exercised at "make test" time.

Thanks. So the DNSBL checks run, just not 'make test'.
