The above is exactly the reason (well not the only reason), that we now use
Qmail instead of sendmail.

I never liked the idea of someone else, with an agenda that I'm sure
doesn't coinside with mine, telling me who I should talk to or not. When
the source code defaulted to using these "services" that's when I bailed on
sendmail.

The source code does not include any references at all.  There is an M4
source file that includes the rulesets that do DNS lookups but you have to
explicitly include them in your configuration source.
