[Bug 5359] New: Why does spamc -x break -d host IP randomization?

http://issues.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=5359

           Summary: Why does spamc -x break -d host IP randomization?
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.8
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: P4
         Component: spamc/spamd
        AssignedTo: dev@spamassassin.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jussi_apache@silvennoinen.net


spamc -u foo -d foohost

foohost resolves to three A-records.
Two are down, one answers. Spamc tries all three a-ok. Wonderful.

spamc -u foo -d foohost -x
Spamc tries three times to the same (random) host and gives up if it doesn't
respond.

I understand this is intentional, why?

I don't want the message to pass unrated if spamc cannot connect to any host,
EX_TEMPFAIL is preferred. I would like to have it try three times to connect to
different hosts.
